The Ultimate Homemade Crunch Bars Recipe

Ingredients:

• 3 cups crispy rice cereal
• 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
• 1 cup peanut butter (can substitute any nut or seed butter)
• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• 1/4 cup coconut oil (can substitute grass-fed butter)

Instructions:

1. Begin by lining an 8 x 8-inch baking dish or a deep baking tray of your choice with parchment paper, then set it aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, add the crispy rice cereal and set it aside. In a microwave-safe bowl or on the stovetop, combine all the remaining ingredients and heat them until fully melted. Once melted, remove from the microwave or stove and whisk the mixture until completely smooth and incorporated.
3. Pour the chocolate and peanut butter mixture over the crispy rice cereal in the mixing bowl. Gently stir until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
4. Transfer the mixture into the lined baking dish, spreading it evenly. Refrigerate the dish until the mixture firms up, which usually takes at least an hour.
5. Once firm, remove the dish from the refrigerator and cut the mixture into bars of your desired size.

Enjoy these delectable homemade crunch bars as a delightful snack or treat!
