Homemade Crunch Bars 🍫💖
Ingredients:
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 3 cups crispy rice cereal (e.g., Rice Krispies)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions:
1. Melt the Chocolate:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, and coconut oil.
- Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
2. Combine with Cereal:
- Once the chocolate is melted, add the crispy rice cereal to the bowl and gently stir to coat the cereal evenly with the melted chocolate mixture.
3. Set in the Pan:
- Line an 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
- Pour the chocolate and cereal mixture into the pan, spreading it out into an even layer.
4. Chill:
- Refrigerate the pan for about 2 hours, or until the crunch bars have set and become firm.
5. Cut and Serve:
- Once set, remove the crunch bars from the pan and cut them into squares or rectangles.
- Serve and enjoy your homemade crunch bars!
Tips:
- Make it Vegan: Use dairy-free chocolate chips and coconut oil for a vegan-friendly version.
- Add-ins: You can also add nuts, dried fruit, or a sprinkle of sea salt on top for added flavor and texture.
- Storage: Keep these bars stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain their crispness.
