Mum's LCM Bars
LONG before LCM Bars were a "thing" my Mum used to make for us kids these Caramel Rice Bubble Bars. We just loved them. They were a real treat for our lunch boxes.
When I had my own kids and LCM bars arrived on the shelves, they were used to my bars. They tried an LCM once and didn't like it. They said it tasted "funny" and got stuck in their neck.
So glad to know that my Mum's was a winner!
With a grandchild here, I pulled out the old recipe book and decided to start converting.
Today I thought I would start with this recipe as Billy (granddaughters Daddy) loves LCM Bars. It is really a sticky recipe but gosh - in a thermie - super easy! I have put Thermomix and Conventional ways below.
Enjoy! I know we do!

- 300 gms Marshmallows
- 125 gms Jersey Caramels
- 160 gms Rice Bubbles

Line a 20 x 20cm pan with baking paper
Hint: Wet the baking paper - scrunch into a ball - shake it off and line tray - it shapes easier.
