Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups (473 ml) milk chocolate chips
- 1 ½ cups (36 g) Rice Krispies cereal
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) coconut oil
- ¼ teaspoon (1.5 g) salt
Instructions
- Prepare the foundation for your crunch bars by lining an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring ample overhang for easy extraction later.
- Create a silky chocolate base by melting milk chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring thoroughly between 30-second intervals until the mixture achieves a completely smooth consistency.
- Enhance the chocolate mixture with a pinch of salt, then gently incorporate Rice Krispies cereal, ensuring each crisp piece becomes thoroughly enrobed in the molten chocolate.
- Carefully spread the chocolate-coated cereal mixture into the prepared baking dish, using a spatula to craft an even, uniform layer that promises a perfect crunch in every bite.
- Allow the confection to rest at room temperature for approximately 20 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator for 40-60 minutes, letting the chocolate solidify into a delectable, firm texture.
- Once the bars have set completely, leverage the parchment paper overhang to lift the entire slab onto a cutting board with precision.
- Transform the chocolate slab into individual treats by slicing into 10 uniform bars or squares, tailoring the size to your preference.
- Indulge in the fruits of your labor, savoring the homemade crunch bars that blend rich chocolate with satisfying crispy textures.
