They also make a wonderful after-dinner bite — light, crunchy, and perfectly paired with freshly cut strawberries or a bowl of mixed summer berries.
For a more indulgent touch, serve them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or alongside a pot of freshly brewed coffee or tea. They’re also great for more casual moments: tuck them into lunchboxes as a special treat, pack them for picnics, or enjoy them as a sweet pick-me-up with an afternoon cuppa. If you’re hosting a larger gathering, cut them into smaller bite-sized squares and serve on a platter for easy sharing.
What's in this recipe?
Pistachio & white chocolate rice bubble slice
Rice bubbles
These give the slice its signature chewy-crunchy texture and form a light base that holds everything together. Their mild flavour lets the pistachios take centre stage. They’re gluten-free, making the slice accessible for everyone.
Butter
Melted butter brings richness and a smooth mouthfeel, while also helping the base firm up perfectly in the fridge.
White chocolate
Creamy and sweet, white chocolate binds the slice and sets it to the right texture. It also enhances the pistachio flavour and adds a touch of indulgence.
Brown sugar
Brown sugar doesn’t just sweeten — it adds a subtle caramel depth that pairs beautifully with both the nuts and chocolate.
Pistachio spread
I use Pistachio Papi, which has become increasingly popular thanks to the viral Dubai chocolate trend. Luxurious and nutty, this spread infuses the slice with bold pistachio flavour.
Vanilla extract
A generous splash of good-quality vanilla extract brings an extra layer of warmth to the slice. Vanilla has a way of tying all the flavours together, lifting the richness of the chocolate and the nuttiness of the pistachios. I personally never skimp on this!
Topping
White chocolate & pistachio spread
Layered and marbled together, these create a striking pattern and extra nutty-sweet flavour on top.
Salt
Just a pinch of salt balances the sweetness and ties all the flavours together in harmony.
Pistachios
Finally, chopped pistachios bring the slice to life with their satisfying crunch and bold, nutty flavour. Toasting them lightly before adding intensifies their aroma and deepens the flavour, making each bite irresistible. They also provide a gorgeous visual contrast that elevates the slice from simple to spectacular.

This Pistachio & White Chocolate Rice Bubble Slice is a quick and easy no-bake treat. With a crunchy base, creamy white chocolate, and a swirl of pistachio spread, it’s perfect for parties, lunchboxes, or an afternoon sweet fix. Pretty, delicious, and ready in no time!
Ingredients
- 100g white chocolate (chopped)
- 100g butter
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup pistachio spread
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 cups rice bubbles
- 150g white chocolate
- 1/4 cup pistachio spread
- 1/2 cup pistachios (roughly chopped)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Line a 20 x 30 cm slice tin with baking paper.
- In a saucepan set over low heat, gently melt all ingredients except the Rice Bubbles, stirring until smooth and combined.
- Place the Rice Bubbles in a large mixing bowl. Pour the melted mixture over the top and quickly stir until evenly coated.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared tin and press it down firmly with the back of a spatula to create an even layer. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until set.
- Melt the white chocolate in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth. Drizzle over the slice, then use a spatula to spread evenly across the surface.
- Warm the pistachio spread in the microwave for about 15 seconds to loosen, then drizzle over the white chocolate layer. Use the tip of a spoon to gently swirl it through, creating a marbled effect. Finish by sprinkling with extra chopped pistachios.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely set. Slice into bars or squares with a sharp knife to serve.
Notes
Serving suggestion
I like to serve these bars as a sweet treat on a dessert table or at the end of a dinner party. Pairs perfectly with freshly cut strawberries!
Storing
This slice will keep well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. For longer storage, freeze in a sealed container or freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months — simply separate layers with baking paper to prevent sticking. Allow to thaw in the fridge before serving.
