I was always a fan of the picnic bars in tbe Favourites box… kiwis you know what I’m talking about! The rice crispy caramel layer just added a special kinda crunch.
This version has a “buttery” shortbread base, gooey caramel with rice crispy layer, peanuts & choc coating to give the conventional bar a run for it’s money!
