These perfect homemade crunch bars are quick, easy, and endlessly customizable. They bring all the nostalgia of store-bought crunch bars but with fresher, richer flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (12 oz or 340 grams) milk or dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) coconut oil
  • 2 cups (50 grams) crispy rice cereal
  • Optional: coarse sea salt, chopped nuts (almonds, peanuts, or pecans), mini marshmallows

Instructions

  1. Line your baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal later. Set it aside.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 2 cups (12 oz or 340 grams) of chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of coconut oil. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. This should take roughly 1-2 minutes.
  3. Once the chocolate is fully melted, add 2 cups (50 grams) of crispy rice cereal to the bowl. Gently fold the cereal into the chocolate using a silicone spatula until every piece is well-coated.
  4. Pour the chocolate-coated cereal mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use the spatula to spread it out evenly, pressing it down gently to ensure there are no air pockets.
  5. If you’re adding toppings like sea salt, nuts, or marshmallows, sprinkle them over the top now and press them lightly into the mixture.
  6. Place the baking dish in the refrigerator and allow the bars to chill for at least 2 hours or until they’re firm and set.
  7. Once the bars have hardened, lift them out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Use a sharp knife to cut them into squares or rectangles—whatever size you prefer.

Notes

[‘Choose quality chocolate for better flavor.’, ‘Don’t overheat the chocolate to avoid graininess.’, ‘Use fresh cereal for the best crunch.’, ‘Press the mixture down firmly to ensure the bars hold their shape.’, ‘Feel free to customize with add-ins like nuts, dried fruits, or sprinkles.’]
