Now that we the new school year is well and truly upon us, it's easy to start struggling with lunch box ideas. These three ingredient Rice Bubble Bars are the perfect lunchbox treat and also make a great afternoon school snack.
These taste much better than the store bought varieties and because you have made these yourself, you know exactly what has gone into them and can cut them into smaller portion sizes if you wish.
For a treat, you can decorate these bars with 100s and 1000s or even chocolate chips, alternatively they are delicious all on their own.
Ingredients
- 75 g of butter
- 200 g of white marshmallows
- 6 cups of rice bubbles
- 100 s & 1000s to decorate - optional
Instructions

- Pour the combined mixture into a slice tin and use a metal spoon to spread across the
- tin and push down.

What was your favourite lunch box treat growing up?
Alison says
Awesome. Kids loved them.
Melissa says
Can these be used in a lunch box.
Lucy says
Hi Melissa, they are best when kept refrigerated as they do tend to crumble when they warm up!
Jasmin says
Not sure if I was doing something wrong but I definitely had to increase the time and speed to mix the marshmallows and butter. In the fridge now and looks great! Thank you!
Lauren Matheson says
Hi Jasmin, thanks for your feedback! Hmm, sometimes if the butter is straight from the fridge it can take a little longer. I hope you enjoy it 🙂
Nicola Clifford says
Love these. First time I used quinoa puffs and kids didn't pick the difference. Used a few extra marshmallows this time to make it stick better (pink and white) and melted for 2 mins. Also find it mixes better if you gradually add the rbs through the hole in the lid while it's mixing, rather than all at once. Kids gobble it up!
Lauren Matheson says
Thanks for the tips Nicola, I'm going to try that next time 🙂 I'm glad the kids love them too xx
Rebecca says
How long do these last for please?
Lauren says
I've kept them for up to a week in an airtight container.
Jussi says
Can these be suitably frozen?
Lauren says
I haven't tried freezing this one before, you could always try freezing a little piece overnight to see how it goes before freezing a big batch 🙂
michelle says
I freeze them all the time. Still delicious!
