While my boys at not yet at school, last week they have returned to their kindy for two days each week after having a lovely ‘holiday’. In the week leading up to their return we spoke a lot about how much fun they were going to have seeing all of their friends again and the fun things they would get to do. Although I don’t have to pack a school lunch box for them just yet, we still like to have some homemade treats on hand for when they get home in the afternoon and we sit down for some afternoon tea and talk about their day.
I have been meaning to make these three ingredient rice bubble bars for quite some time now and was also eager to try this recipe in my thermomix, so the start of the new kinder year seemed like the perfect time to do it!
This recipe is so easy to put together, it seriously only took 5 minutes from start to finish to make these bars using my thermomix, and would only take slightly longer making them conventionally. Our bars didn’t take too long to set in the fridge, and we were sitting down enjoying a little piece in what felt like no time.
