Homemade Crunch Bars

Homemade Crunch Bars are super easy to make and taste just like the store-bought version—but better! They only need 2–3 ingredients and take just minutes to put together.

🍫 Easy Homemade Crunch Bars

✅ Ingredients:

• 2 cups chocolate chips (semisweet, milk, or dark – your choice)

• 1 ½ cups crispy rice cereal (like Rice Krispies)

• Optional: 1 tsp vanilla extract or a pinch of salt

👨‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Melt the Chocolate

   • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
     (Or use a double boiler on the stovetop.)

2. Stir in Cereal

   • Gently fold in the crispy rice cereal until fully coated. Be careful not to crush them.

3. Pour into Pan

   • Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper.

   • Pour the mixture into the pan and spread evenly.

4. Chill

   • Refrigerate for about 1 hour, or until set.

5. Cut & Serve

   • Lift out of the pan and cut into bars or squares.

🍬 Variations:

• Add a swirl of peanut butter or Nutella for a twist.

• Mix in mini marshmallows, chopped nuts, or crushed pretzels.

• Use white chocolate, dark chocolate, or a combo for marbled bars.
