Description
These homemade crunch bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that combines creamy chocolate with the satisfying crunch of crispy rice cereal. Perfect for snacking, gifting, or satisfying your sweet tooth, these no-bake bars are quick, fun, and require only three ingredients.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (or milk chocolate chips, if preferred)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)
- 2 cups crispy rice cereal
Instructions
- Prepare the pan: Line an 8×8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and fully melted.
- Combine with cereal: Add the crispy rice cereal to the melted chocolate and gently fold until the cereal is evenly coated.
- Assemble: Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly, pressing lightly to compact it.
- Chill: Place the pan in the refrigerator and let the bars set for 1–2 hours, or until firm.
- Cut and serve: Once set, lift the bars out using the parchment paper overhang and cut into squares or rectangles. Enjoy!
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of salt or a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the melted chocolate.
- You can use dark chocolate or white chocolate for variations.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
