Healthier Wild Strawberry LCM bars are the perfect addition to your child's lunch box or after school snack! I've added @nuzest kids strawberry wild strawberry powder to our recipe, making these bars a great source of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. The delicious wild strawberry flavor is sure to please! This is a slightly adapted recipe from the nuzest website. I have swapped out coconut oil for butter so that the bars are suitable for a lunch box snack. If you wanted to make this snack a little more protein rich, add some nuzest wild strawberry CLP.
Ingredients
- 4 cups puffed rice
- 1/2 cup rice malt syrup (or maple syrup or honey works well too)
- 2 serves Nuzest Vanilla Caramel Kids Good Stuff
- 125g of butter
- Sprinkles (optional)
Method
1. Line a square tin (20cm x 20cm) with baking paper. Set aside.
2. Place the rice bubbles, Nuzest Kids Good Stuff, syrup and melted butter into a large bowl and mix together until well combined. The rice bubbles should be coated in the honey and butter!
3. Pour the mixture into the pre-prepared tin and press down firmly. It is important that the mixture is packed down firmly so that the bars don’t crumble when you slice them.
A tip for pressing the mixture down firmly into the tin, is to place a piece of baking paper down over the slice and use your hand or a smaller tin to press the mixture down firmly.
4.Place into the fridge to set for 3-4 hours or overnight. Remove from the fridge and cut into bars immediately with a sharp knife.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
