Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Creamy White Christmas Bars
  1. Start by lining a 20cm x 30cm x 5cm lamington pan with baking paper, ensuring the edges overhang slightly.
  2. In a heatproof bowl, melt the white chocolate using a double boiler technique or microwave in 30-second bursts until smooth.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice bubbles, chopped dried apricots, dried peaches, dried cranberries, and pistachios. Add in the shredded coconut and milk powder, mixing well.
  4. Once the white chocolate has melted, pour it into the bowl with the dry ingredients along with the vanilla extract. Gently fold everything together.
  5. Spread the mixture into the prepared pan, using a spoon to press it down firmly and evenly.
  6. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour until firm.
  7. Remove the mixture from the pan using the overhanging baking paper, and cut into desired bar sizes. Optionally decorate with edible gold leaf.
