Method:

1) In a large glass bowl, combine the toffees, water and peanut butter and microwave on medium for about 5-7 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes, until melted.

2) Stir in the Rice Krispies, peanuts and raisins. Press the mixture into a 30x20cm shallow baking dish or brownie pan.

Cook's tip: You could use mint toffees to make a peppermint version of this tea-time treat.
