Karonjulie - I used coco pops and they were yum!!! Reminded me a bit of the old "chocolate crackles".
Amanda - they were problematic - mostly because the kids couldn't take them to school as they fell apart in the heat so I ate most of them!!
Fabfour - they were a big hit with the kids. Mine have stayed together really well. I mixed them for a little longer than the recipe said and it crushed a little bit of the rice bubbles and that seemed to help it hold together. I can see that LTM's will be making a regular appearance in the kids lunchboxes.
Chelsea - I make these occasionally for my boys but I use about 80g of puffed brown rice instead of rice-bubbles and raw sugar instead of white sugar. I blitz the raw sugar for a couple of seconds first before adding the other initial ingredients. The puffed brown rice changes the taste and appearance but they still go down a treat with my two little ones!
Mollygrubbles - I made a marshmallow version of these.
Ingredients
200g Marshmallows
80g butter
4 cups rice bubbles (I measured this to be 130g)
Method
Place butter and marshmallows into TM bowl and cook for 8 minutes at 60ºC on speed 3.
Add Rice Bubbles to bowl and mix for approx 20 seconds on Reverse + speed 3 (until rice bubbles are coated in marshmallow mixture).
Pour mixture into a lined baking tray and press down firmly.
Refrigerate until firm (approx 1 hour).
Cut into slices to serve.
Tip:
These can be decorated with choc chips, sprinkles, coconut, or just leave plain. Whatever your heart desire.
versaceyoyo - I made MGs version with marshmallows and quinoa puffs instead of rice bubbles - very quick and easy.
MJ - I made pretty much your recipe MG at Easter time. I just made it up to get rid of some rice bubbles I had in the pantry that no one was eating. They were yummy!
HelenN - I tried a different version with just chopping up a handful of marshmallows and putting them in when mixing up the rice bubbles and coconut. They melted a bit so might help with keeping them together a bit better. I also put them in patty pans this week instead of making a slice.
Zan - they were a great hit! Hopefully with the cool weather they will also stand up to the lunch box next week.
Millipede I made the marshmallow version and they were so super sweet and yummy! kids loved them. Thanks so much, will definitely be making these again.
rubyslippers - Honey puff version didn't score any points with the children.
NICKY74 - has added her Mum's version on Page 2.
Bambi - I made the marshmallow version but I put a layer of melted chocolate in the bottom of the pan then the layer of rice bubble mixture and then choc rainbow sprinkles on top, then left to set.
I find it is super sweet but that just means you cut it up smaller than 'lcm' bars are. Thanks for the tip about patty cases, will make it easier for lunch boxes.
MumtoFour - Very easy to make....my three year old loved it.
wapred - I make these quite often for my kids, I reduce the sugar and add marshmallows instead. I find they stick together much better.
jsthermie - So following the recipe at the beginning of the thread - or from the school lunch box booklet - but
we omitted the desiccated coconut
used 100g puffed rice (whole grain brown rice)
and
instead of sugar we used Coconut palm sugar (same measurement).
The result was a beautiful toffee coloured and flavoured slice! And we can pretend it's not quite so bad for us given the brown rice and nutrients from the palm sugar! Rapadura would no doubt give the same result. We're keeping it in the fridge.
YUM YUM YUM!!
Will push some choc chips in next time.
They held together really well. After pouring/dropping into tin, I flattened down with a piece of baking paper between my hand and the mix so I could really push it in.
nerine - When I make these, I cut them and store them in the freezer, that way it takes a little longer for them to crumble in warm little hands.
Perth Mum - MollyGrubbles: I made your marshmallow LCM's the other day... or should I say my 8 year old made them and both the kids just loved them! They're asking to make more. Thanks for that recipe. It's well loved here!
CP - I think off memory there is some healthier version of rice bubbles (rice puffs?) from either the health shop or the health section of the supermarket. I made these on the weekend and it just vanished. Added glace cherries and next time will add some roasted peanuts and marshmallows I think. Next time I may also decrease the sugar, super easy.
Denzelmum - Made with wheat puff and topped with melted dark choc.
Jamberie - I made these following a similar recipe to MG's using marshmallow. Yummo!
Kimmyh - Great recipe thank you. We can't stop eating them. Very moreish and will definitely make again.
-
Sounds lovely - thanks for the recipe. I'm going to make some tomorrow for my daughter (honest - no, really. I wouldn't dream of eating any myself :D)
-
Thanks baf65, memories of childhood. Yummy sweets made with rice bubbles and corn flakes. ;D ;D
;) - yes, I can still remember ancient history.
-

-
I made these a week or 2 ago and they were problematic - mostly because the kids couldn't take them to school as they fell apart in the heat so I ate most of them!! ;D
-
LOL, same here Amanda!!!
Now anyone know how the real LCM bars stay stuck together longer?
They really arent a great one for Aussie lunch boxes at the moment!
-
I haven't used any in years, and not sure about the health side, but would copha produce a more solid result?
-

I have a recipe somewhere for the real LCM bars that involves melted marshmallows, rice bubbles and not much else - I'll look it up because they stay together.
-
oh yuk i hate that copha stuff!!!
when i was little we used to make rice krispy cakes just with chocolate and rice bubbbles, mind you that was england so it was never warm enough for them to melt!
-

That's what I used to make to any 'bring a cake' do in Germany, as it was so quick, and so popular. People always thought they were brilliant, and they took me about 2 minutes ;D But again, definitely not a great idea for the summer.
-
We always made the marshmallow version, with melted butter too... I still love them ;) I think the recipe used to be on the Rice Krispy's box...
-

MG I made these today with marshmallows an qunioa puffs instead of rice bubbles - very quick and easy
-
Isn't that funny? I made pretty much your recipe MG at Easter time. I just made it up to get rid of some rice bubbles I had in the pantry that no one was eating.
They were yummy!
-
LOL - did the same with some noodles that weren't going anywhere - MrsT loved her chocolate spiders ;)
-
I winder if subbing a bit of coconut oil would help firm it up a bit?
I have made the marshmallow type twice before and man, they are sooo sweet, my sweet toothed 5 year old wouldn't even eat them! Might try these though, I have some plain puffed rice I need to use up.
-
Good idea with the coconut oil - should help firm it up
-
My 8 year old son just loves these bars! I tried a different version today with just chopping up a handful of marshmallows and putting them in when mixing up the rice bubbles and coconut. They melted a bit so might help with keeping them together a bit better. I also put them in patty pans this week instead of making a slice. Bit of an extra treat whilst at Nan's place this week for the school holidays! :)

Copha is coconut oil, but with lecithin added.
-
I don't have any rice bubbles, but I'm thinking I'll make this up with the honey puffs the children wanted but don't want to eat.
:)
-
I made the marshmellow version mentioned in post 14 and they were so super sweet and yummy! kids loved them. ;D
Thanks so much, will definately be making these again.
-
Honey puff version didn't score any points with the children. :-))
-
Honey Puffs aren't as light and crunchy as Rice Bubbles, so that's probably why.
Never mind, you did try!
-
my mum has been making toffee crispy for around 20 years, its the same as these, but with toffee in too. really yummy,
equal quantities of ricebubbles,
butter
toffee
marshmallows.
melt all ingredients together except rice bubbles when all combined stir in rice bubbles and place in tray. chill.
sorry i havnt made these since i bought my tmx so havnt worked out how long it takes to melt and at what temperature yet.
just thought i would share as i love these so much. take them out of fridge a little before eating. they also freeze really well, perfect for serving to unexpected guests also, they dont take too long to defrost.
hope you enjoy them as much as my family,
nicky :P
-
Today i made the marshmallow version but I put a layer of melted chocolate in the bottom of the pan then the layer of ricebubble mixture and then choc rainbow sprinkles on top, then left to set.
I find it is super sweet but that just means you cut it up smaller than 'lcm' bars are :) They are going to be a big hit when the kids go back to school next week.
Thanks for the tip about patty cases, will make it easier for lunch boxes :)
-
paper patty cases and greaseproof are cheap, but you could also pop a slice into a silicone patty case too to put into the lunchbox. These are good for separating little treats when pushed for space....as long as it was for a child that you know wouldn't throw into the bin when finished.
-
Thanks for the recipe....my eldest has been asking for these for ages as apparently his lunchbox is too healthy (is there such a thing?)....
Very easy to make....my three year old loved it and proudly shows "his" cooking.
-
I make these quite often for my kids, I reduce the sugar and add marshmallows instead. I find they stick together much better.
-
We have played with the recipe also -
So following the recipe at the beginning of the thread - or from the school lunch box booklet - but
We omitted the dessicated coconut
Used 100g puffed rice (whole grain brown rice)
and
instead of sugar we used Coconut palm sugar (same measurement).
The result was a beautiful toffee coloured and flavoured slice! And we can pretend it's not quite so bad for us given the brown rice and nutrients from the palm sugar! ;)
Rapadura would no doubt give the same result.
We're keeping it in the fridge (don't have to send the kids to school with them - they school at home!)
YUM YUM YUM!! :D
Will push some choc chips in next time....
-
Did they hold together as well using the puffed brown rice? I find they crumble up and am thinking of chopping the puffed rice a bit. :)
-
They held together really well.
The first time I made them I used 120g instead of the 150g recommended - but they fell apart.
Second time I used only 100g and after pouring/dropping into tin, I flattened down with a piece of baking paper between my hand and the mix so I could really push it in.
It still makes the same amount in volume as the 150g traditional rice bubbles if that makes sense?
-
When I make these, I cut them and store them in the freezer, that way it takes a little longer for them to crumble in warm little hands.

-
Hi brand new here and I don't even have my tmx yet..it's ordered though. I've made something similar using mars bar and butter as the glue in the recipe. I've also done marshmallows but they give them a sickly sweet taste
-
Made with wheat puff and top with melted dark choc. DD is in fussy stage and decided she doesn't like dark choc bit.
-
Unless you are super skinny and need the kgs, I wouldn't add the choc either :D You don't need it. Its a yummy recipe, and yes I love chopped roasted peanuts, glace cherries, and chopped marshmallows as you feel like adding.
-
I've never even thought of making these, it sounds as though I should give them a try.
-
Quite possibly a silly question but do you ise the butterfly for this recipe? TIA :)
-
These sound SO YUM!!!!! Not very low cal though PMSL
-
Looking for gluten free party treats. This is fun!
-
Quite possibly a silly question but do you ise the butterfly for this recipe? TIA :)
The recipe just says to use reverse Mumiiii, I'm sure they would have said if you needed to use the butterfly. Someone who has made them will hopefully confirm this.
-
I made these this afternoon following a similar recipe to MG's using marshmallow (on page 1 of this thread). Yummo!
-
Great recipe thank you. We can't stop eating them. Very moorish and will definitely make again.
