I’m always looking for new ways to make my boys school lunch boxes exciting and varied with a balanced mix of healthy foods and a homemade treat.
Below is my recipe for Choc Fruit Rice Bars. It’s a great way to introduce fussy eaters to dried fruit. Any dried fruit can be used, so to vary the recipe try currants, dried banana chips, pineapple or apple pieces. Desiccated coconut and sunflower seeds are also interesting alternatives.
