Hello and welcome to Planning With Kids! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my Free Email Updates. Thanks for visiting!
I am always on the look out for easy recipes to make as treats for the kids school lunches. My children particularly like this one as they think it is just like a prepackaged snack bar LCMs. If you have an easy recipes for lunch box treats I would love it if you could link to them in the comments

Rice Bubble Slice
Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 250 grams white marshmallows 6 cups of Rice Bubbles (again the home brand version is fine)
- 6 cups of Rice Bubbles (again the home brand version is fine and they are known to some as Rice Krispies!)
Instructions:
- Line a slice tray with baking paper.
- Place the rice bubbles into a large bowl.
- On a low heat, melt the butter in a saucepan.
- Add marshmallow to the butter and stir until they are completely melted. I have bought the home brand pink and white ones and they work fine, but I think the taste is nicer if it is just plain white.
- Pour marshmallow mix into the bowl with rice bubbles and combine well.
- Press mixture into the tray. (If it is sticking to your hands, try wetting them slightly with cold water.)
- Put in the fridge to cool and set.
- Once set, cut into desired shape. I tend to go for rectangles about 5cm x 3cm

My kids like pita “chips” – we use a bag of pita bread on sale (i.e. getting close to its use-by date), split the slices in half then cut into wedges (’chip’ sized), brush some olive oil over the top (I use a garlic flavoured oil), and bake in a hot oven for about 8 minutes. The older ones like to dip in salsa, the younger ones just eat them plain.
Oh I need to get back into meal planning … I am so impressed with you being able to keep the blog and your level of organisation going with all your kids and a little baby! DH has started complaining that all we eat is spag bol, sausages and mash, and stirfry .. with soup and bread on a Sunday! Its tragic but true … I think I”ll just follow your meal plans for now, we’ll be like PlanningQueen groupies!
ooo definately have to try that recipe out! I need to get started on menu planning, we try, but it just never seems to happen.
