Description
These Homemade Crunch Bars are a delightful treat that combines the richness of chocolate with the satisfying crunch of crispy rice cereal. Easy to make and no baking required!
Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Coating:
- 2 cups semisweet or milk chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or butter (optional, for smoother texture)
Crunchy Base:
- 2 cups crispy rice cereal (like Rice Krispies)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chocolate Coating: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips with the coconut oil or butter in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
- Mix in the Crunchy Base: Stir in the crispy rice cereal until fully coated with the melted chocolate. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and press it into an even layer. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour until set.
- Slice and Serve: Once set, lift the bars out using the parchment overhang and slice into squares or bars. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider mixing in a pinch of sea salt or a splash of vanilla extract.
- Store bars in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage.
