Description

Indulge in these easy-to-make Chocolate Crunch Bars that combine the richness of chocolate with the crunch of crisped rice cereal, creating a delightful treat for all ages.


Ingredients

Main Ingredients:

  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 cups crisped rice cereal

Additional Ingredients:

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. Melt the Chocolate Mixture: In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  3. Finish the Mixture: Stir in vanilla extract, salt, and crisped rice cereal until coated.
  4. Set and Serve: Press the mixture into the dish, chill for 2 hours, cut into bars, and refrigerate.

Notes

  • You can substitute almond butter or sunflower seed butter for a peanut-free version.
  • For added texture, sprinkle sea salt or drizzle melted white chocolate on top before chilling.
