This time, I had a brainwave &#8211; crisp them up in the oven! And, it worked. I have the most crunchy little bars of deliciousness that I can&#8217;t stop eating!<\/p>\n<p>Because the marshmallow sinks to the base, I turn the slice out half way through baking, cut up and place each piece on a larger tray upside down to crisp up. I add the sprinkles at this stage. Not absolutely necessary, but a better looking piece of slice!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/thermogourmand.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG-5728.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2568\" src=\"http:\/\/thermogourmand.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG-5728-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/thermogourmand.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG-5728-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/thermogourmand.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG-5728-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/thermogourmand.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG-5728-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, http:\/\/thermogourmand.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG-5728.jpg 1164w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I used the Woolworths brand Rice Pops, they seem just the same as Kellogs Rice Bubbles and are made in New Zealand.

You could use your own home made marshmallows here, (there&#8217;s a great recipe on Cookidoo) but may need to crisp in the oven a little longer due to the water content.<\/p>\n<div
