You wrote it correctly. It's not actually slang, it's called "擬声語" (gi-sei-go), which is a form of onomonapeia (probably spelled that wrong). It's a word that represents a sound. There are tons of those in Japanese. "pachi pachi" is meant to represent the sound of clapping hands, so it's often said when you want to applaud someone.

パチパチ is pronounced "Pachi Pachi", as the sound of clapping hands.
It is usually used when something is exciting. Well, the kind of times you would clap hands.
