White Christmas Slice
For those that haven’t heard of White Christmas Slice before, it is a popular slice in Australia that is made with Rice Bubbles, coconut and dried fruit. Traditionally, it was made with copra, though this recipe is made using white chocolate.
This easy, no-bake slice just screams Christmas! A bit like rocky road, with Rice Bubbles, and fruit, it is covered in a delicious layer of white chocolate.
The secret to the most delicious slice is good quality ingredients, especially when it comes to the white chocolate. This medley of nuts, fruit, coconut and Rice Bubbles held together with quality white chocolate and no copha. This creamy, sweet slice is super easy to make, melting the chocolate in the microwave before adding in the rest of the ingredients.
With the festive season being always so busy, this slice can be whipped up in a matter of minutes, to be used in lunchboxes, for morning or afternoon tea or to take when visiting with family and friends.
It also makes a great gift idea. Wrap it up in a jar with a pretty ribbon to give to all those special people in your life this festive season.

- Glacé cherries or glacé pineapples could be used instead of dried cranberries
- A tsp of vanilla extract could also be added to the mixture
- Raisins could be used instead of sultanas
- You can use any variation of mix-ins, though do try to keep the total amount of nuts and fruit to 2 cups total.
- Make in a bundt pan for a delicious ‘wreath’ table centrepiece
