These are very similar to LCM bars you buy in store but a billion times cheaper.
A week or two ago I shared my little scrapbooks with you that had cut outs of recipes from many years ago. This one came from “Thats Life” magazine I think from about 8+ years ago and was submitted by Sommer Matthies. I have just converted it to the Thermomix and tweaked ever so slightly.
There are lots of recipes out there for these both using marshmallows and not. You cant beat the marshmellowy taste and goodness so thats what I use. They also keep their shape well at room temperature. So a little piece will last in the lunchbox.
This was the recipe my mum used so I’m sticking with it. The original recipe calls for 125g butter however I reduce it to 100g. You can drizzle white chocolate over the top, add choc chips or sprinkles over the top but I find they are sweet enough as is.

Do you know how long they keep or of they can be frozen? They are awesome.
No these dont freeze well unfortunately.
Oh My Goodness I was saying not very nice words trying to get this into my tray. it kept sticking to the spoon so thought I would try my hands but nope that ended in more not very nice words (been a long trying day). Then I remembered a friend suggesting wet hands when working with gluten free dough so gave it a go for these and WOOOHOOOOO it worked and I could press it all into the tin all nicely.
Hope the kids love them at my son’s birthday on the weekend 🙂 Teeny Teddies are next up!
