Healthy Chocolate Rice Bubble Bars

by Katrina - The Organised Housewife April 16, 2015July 25, 2016
April 16, 2015July 25, 2016

My kids always ask for the store variety LCM rice bubble bars, but making them at home is really easy and so much more cost effective.  Making one batch of these healthy chocolate rice bubble bars only takes minutes and makes 16 good sized portions.  I made this in the thermomix, however I have included both regular and thermomix recipes below.

Healthy-Chocolate-Rice-Bubble-Bars-4

I have made a peanut butter version previously with marshmallow to make the mixture combine together, however this recipe is a healthier version and not so sticky, so needs to be kept cold to keep shape.  My kids do take it in their lunch boxes for school with the icepack and a spoon for the occasion that it does fall apart (which for some reason they always hope it does cause they love the novelty of eating it with a spoon).

Healthy-Chocolate-Rice-Bubble-Bars-1

I used honey in this recipe, however you can use rice malt syrup instead, although the slice will not be as sweet.

This looks fab! You could make it even healthier by using Abundant Earth’s Puffed Brown Rice. Get it in a huge bag in the health food section or “healthy end” of the cereal aisle at Woolies.????Vxx

Absolutely Vicki! What a great idea.:)

You could use puffed rice from the health food section to make these actually healthy.

Thanks Brooke, a really good idea.:)

Edwina April 17, 2015 - 2:09 PM

I’m also sceptical as to whether these could be classed as ‘healthy’. Honey is still sugar, coconut oil is still fat. I’m sure they are delicious, but I would still put them in the ‘treat’ category.

Reply
Ana July 16, 2016 - 9:44 PM

honey and coconut oil is better than using sugar or butter!

Reply
Lauren March 16, 2017 - 9:38 PM

Agree Edwina, healthier but still a treat

Hello, Just about to start scratching around for school lunches tomorrow. This should soften the blow of holidays finishing, nice treat for the boys when they open their lunchboxes. Thank you! x

These are great Monique! and the kids love the healthier treat in their lunchboxes.:)

Thanks for the great recipe Kat!! Delicious! I made them in a mini muffin tin in little paper patty pans. My boys loved them

Great idea Natalie, that would make good little individual serves.

Hi Kat, thanks for all your wonderful srecipes & tips! A little off the topic not sure if somewhere else more appropriate to ask but I noticed your recipe was for a thermomix, I have recently started looking into getting one can I ask what you think and if it can justify the high price tag, thank so much

Reply
Katrina - The Organised Housewife January 19, 2016 - 12:30 PM

Hi Niomi, I love my Thermomix, It makes cooking a breeze, I now make alot of meals from scratch, last night I made chicken parmiganan, I minced up the chicken and added some extra herbs and made my own sauce and crumb, didn’t take long at all, dinner was started and served within 30 minutes. It is a hefty price tag, but I believe it’s worth it.

I cant stand coconut what can I replace it with – or would it work without?

Reply
Katrina - The Organised Housewife January 19, 2016 - 12:28 PM

you could try oats?

hayley March 30, 2017 - 8:23 PM

These are great and we all love them here but no good for luncboxes as they melt!

Reply
Sophia Howarth July 10, 2017 - 7:03 PM

Hi, do you keep these in the freezer so they can defrost slowly (with ice pack) in the lunchbox? Wondering if they stay nice that way or It would change the taste. Thank you.

Evelyn August 17, 2017 - 10:31 AM

I used LSA instead of dissected coconut as my wee girl doesn’t like coconut. worked really well. Added about 50g of 70% dark chocolate to the warm mixture to add firmness to the end result. Delic. Thanks for sharing this great recipe!

Katrina - The Organised Housewife August 21, 2017 - 11:47 AM

That’s a great alternative, Thank you Evelyn

Has anyone frozen these?

Reply
Emily January 27, 2019 - 2:19 PM

Did you try and freeze them? Did it work or they ended up not crispy?

Courney May 7, 2018 - 2:02 PM

Thanks for the recipe- they turned out delicious! I did, however, have to sub in dried cranberries and sultanas as I had no dates. I also did not add as much honey. I kept tasting to test sweetness before adding more. Thanks again 🙂

Reply
Katrina - The Organised Housewife May 10, 2018 - 9:15 AM

ooh yum my youngest miss would love the cranberries, great idea!!

Reply
Sally July 26, 2018 - 6:57 AM

I’m out of cacao…can I sub in cocoa?

Reply
Katrina - The Organised Housewife July 26, 2018 - 8:57 AM

You definitely could, it might just make them a little sweeter so you could use rice malt syrup instead of the honey or half half 🙂

Hannah July 8, 2019 - 9:01 PM

Could you please tell me what the calories in this are? Thanks

Reply
Katrina - The Organised Housewife July 11, 2019 - 10:22 AM

Hi Hannah, I wouldn’t know I’m sorry, but you could try a calorie counter like this one: https://happyforks.com/analyzer – hope this helps. Kat x

My daughter makes these cookies for us and we all My daughter makes these cookies for us and we all love them so. I LOVE ROCKY ROAD, and these have all those yummy flavours in a cookie! They are a perfect treat in the afternoon when I sit down with a cuppa, I do love the crunch of the nuts and gooeyness of the marshmallow. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The cookies freeze really well for eating later, but I must admit we tend to polish off the batch pretty quickly and they very rarely make it to the freezer in our home. I am planning on doing a big baking day soon to stock my freezer with snacks, these cookies would make a lovely once in a while, lunchbox treat if your child attends a school that allows nuts 🥜 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The recipe is on my blog, or just swipe up in my stories! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
