Put Dates in TMX bowl, process until a smooth paste forms, sp. 8 for around 30 seconds. Repeat if necessary. Add coconut oil and vanilla essence to the bowl, and melt mixture, 1 minute, temp. 60, sp.2. Add puffed rice to a large bowl, pour warm mixture over puffed rice, using spatula to get out the thick date mixture.

Recipe is created forTM 5
If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

These were amazing and so easy thank you!! I heated mine for 6 mins like the OP said but otherwise the same. Just need to stop myself eating them!! I assume they need to be stored in the fridge?
My kids loved these! Not to mention myself. Hit in our house.
Tasty alternative to the lcm bars from shops. I processed the date and coconut oil mix for about 5minutes on 60 degrees to make it smoother and easier to mix into rice puffs. I made them thinner and they have held the bar shape when cut straight from fridge
We loved this recipe. I used Tupperware silicon cupcake moulds to push them into and it worked brilliantly - popped out easily and i didn't have problems with crumbling to cut. Perfect size for little hands and lunchboxes.
HI, has anyone frozen these and then let them defrost in the lunchbox? Do you think it's possible to do so? I am planning to make these with puffed millet for my one year old baby.
thanks so much for sharing this healthy recepie. I usually do a LCM bar but with a nut butter, not so lunch box friendly unfortunatelly. So I was happy to find the date option. the only issue I had was that my date mixture and coconut once mixed and warmed seperated and the date mixture looked like a clump sitting in the oil. I still managed to get it all into the rice, but it wasn't easy and a lot of it crumbled once cut. I used fresh good quality dates and followed all the steps. Any thoughts and advise would be appreciated as they did taste amazing and the kids loved them!
Thank you
Delicious! I put the mixture into a silicone mini cupcake pan instead of worrying about slicing & it worked perfectly!
It could be because the coconut oil melted if it is warm weather. It is important to mix the puffed rice very thoroughly with the date mixture, and press very firmly in the tin. Sorry they crumbled for you. :/I love creating recipes that are nutritious and healthy, check out blog and recipe site for more info

I'm not sure about marshmallows, but I imagine it could work. Let us know how it goes for you

substitute marshmallows for dates?
Could you substitute marshmallows instead of dates? We can't have dates but this recipe looks great!
