Steps
- 01
Line a tray with parchment. Check that the ready-made puffed rice is crisp, and finely chop the peanuts, pumpkin seeds and pitted jujubes.
- 02
Heat 45 g sugar, 70 g corn syrup and 15 mL water over medium heat. When the sugar dissolves and the mixture bubbles, reduce the heat. Do not touch hot syrup.
- 03
Add 5 cups puffed rice, 60 g pumpkin seeds, 60 g peanuts and 5 chopped jujubes. Stir quickly with a heatproof spatula to coat evenly.
- 04
Transfer to the lined tray, cover with another sheet of parchment and flatten with a rolling pin or spatula; never press hot syrup directly with your hands.
- 05
Let the slab cool until firm, then cut into about 25 pieces. Keep sealed in a dry, cool place to preserve crispness.

Before you cook
Check peanut allergies and cross-contact labels on puffed rice and seeds. Hot syrup can cause serious burns; handle with tools and parchment, and cool before cutting. Nuts, seeds and hard candy pieces can choke young children; avoid or adapt to a safe age-appropriate texture. Store sealed and dry.
