If your kids love those crunchy store-bought LCM bars, they’ll be thrilled with this homemade version made in the Thermomix. These Thermomix Chocolate Rice Bubble Bars are so quick to whip up and much more budget-friendly than the supermarket kind.
They have a lovely light crunch and a subtle chocolate flavour, sweetened naturally with honey and dates. I’ve made a marshmallow version in the past, but this one is a little healthier, it doesn’t hold together quite as tightly, so it’s best kept in the fridge. My kids still pop a piece in their lunchbox with an ice pack and secretly hope it crumbles, because they love eating it with a spoon!
This is one of those recipes that’s perfect for busy families, no baking, minimal ingredients, and the Thermomix does all the work.

- Bars must be kept cold, otherwise they’ll melt and fall apart.
- Swap honey for rice malt syrup for a milder flavour.
- Drizzle melted chocolate over the top for a sweeter treat.
