Here’s a super easy, 3-ingredient Homemade Crunch Bar recipe — tastes just like the Nestlé classic but even better. No baking, no fuss, perfectly crunchy and chocolatey!
🍫 Homemade Crunch Bars (3 Ingredients)
Ingredients
- 2 cups chocolate chips
(milk chocolate for classic flavor, semi-sweet for richer) - 1 cup Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 tbsp coconut oil (optional, but makes the chocolate smoother and shinier)
Instructions
1. Melt the chocolate
- Microwave chocolate chips (and coconut oil, if using) in 20–30 second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Or melt over a double boiler.
2. Add the crunch
- Stir in the Rice Krispies until fully coated.
3. Shape the bars
- Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper.
- Pour mixture in and spread evenly.
- Tap the pan to remove air pockets.
4. Chill
- Refrigerate for 1–2 hours until firm.
- Cut into squares or bars.
⭐ Variations
- Peanut butter crunch bars: Add 2 tbsp peanut butter to the melted chocolate.
- Double chocolate: Mix in 1 tbsp cocoa powder before adding cereal.
- Holiday version: Add crushed candy canes or Christmas sprinkles.
- Healthier version: Use dark chocolate + puffed quinoa instead of Rice Krispies.
🎁 Storage
- Store in the fridge for firm bars or room temp for softer, chewier bars.
- Lasts up to 2 weeks in an airtight container.
