1 1/2tspsea saltoptional for salted caramel flavour
Instructions
Line a 20cm square baking tin with baking paper.
Blend the nuts in a food processor until they form a smooth paste.
Measure out 1/2 cup of the macadamia paste and put it in a large saucepan along with the syrup, vanilla and salt (the rest of the macadamia paste can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 months).
Cook, stirring constantly until the mixture starts to ‘melt’.
Put the puffed rice into a bowl and pour the mixture over it.
Mix until all the puffed rice is covered and then press it into the tin using the back of a spoon to push it into the corners.
Refrigerate for 15 minutes until set, then slice into squares or bars and store in an airtight container in the fridge.
