Original recipe makes 30
3 cupssugar
1 teaspoonsalt
70 gramsbutter or margarine
1 canevaporated milk

Rice Bubbles; pack (300g)

LEMON BUBBLE MISTAKE Preparation

Butter a baking pan, or line pan with baking paper, extending paper over edges of pan.

Combine sugar, salt, butter, evaporated milk and marshmallow fluff in a heavy-bottomed 3-quart sauce pan set over low heat, stirring until well blended.

Increase heat to heat to medium-high and bring mixture to a full-rolling boil being careful not to mistake escaping air bubbles for boiling.

As soon as the mixture reaches a boil, lower heat to medium and boil slowly, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes, or until mixture reaches soft ball stage (between 234 and 240 degrees F).

Remove pan from heat, add lemon essence and white chocolate pieces, stirring until chocolate is melted and well combined.

Stir in the lemon juice, which will turn this from a lemon fudge into a toffee.

Let the toffee cool down until it is still liquid enough to coat the rice bubbles without making them too soft.

Stir in the rice bubbles so they get an even coating of the toffee mixture..

Put the mixture into a large pan (I use a roasting pan lined with baking paper) and press down evenly.

Let cool on the refrigerator or freezer overnight.

Then cut into 1-inch pieces. Store in an airtight container (layers separated by wax paper) for up to a week.

LEMON BUBBLE MISTAKE Reviews

This started out as an attempt at Lemon Fudge, but like an ignorant amateur who hadn't bothered to study basic food chemistry, I thought it might help the flavour to add some actual lemon juice to the mixture.

This of course massively raised the acidity, breaking down all the sugary fudginess (this is a scientific term you understand) and turning it into a toffee instead.

Stirring rice bubbles into the toffee was simply an attempt to save the entire operation - one which on tasting the end result I think we will label a roaring success!

They key trick here is to make sure that the toffee is cool enough that it won't make the rice bubbles soggy that they lose their crunchiness.

Marshmallow fluff, or Marshmallow puff, is obtainable from USAFoods in Melbourne, for those of us who live in Australia. [I posted this recipe.]
