Easy! how to Make Chocolate Crunch Bars

Easy-to-Make Chocolate Crunch Bars

Yummie ,would love to try this myself

Makes a whole buncha candy


24 ounces ounces chocolate chips (I used one 12-ounce bag of dark and one 12-ounce bag of milk)
2 to 3 cups Rice Krispies (or another type of puffed rice cereal), depending on how crunchy you want the bars (I used 3)
Flaky sea salt like Maldon, cocoa nibs, mini M&Ms, etc. (for topping or mixing in), optional


First up: Stock up on Rice Krispies and whatever chocolate you fancy; as I said, chips are fine, and I recommend a mix of milk and dark.


Line a baking pan with aluminum foil. If you want thicker bars, use an 8- x 8-inch pan. If you want thinner bars, use a 9- x 13-inch pan.

Melt the chocolate chips in a small pan over low heat, making sure not to burn the chocolate. You can also do this in the microwave: Make sure the bowl you use is microwave-safe, and nuke your chips for 30-second intervals, stirring after each, watching carefully so they don’t burn or sputter.

When the chocolate is melted and smooth, fold in the Rice Krispies and anything else you want incorporated into the bars. Smooth the mixture into the baking sheet and top with flaky sea salt, if using. Freeze until set.

Slice your bars with a sharp knife, then wrap them in foil, or parchment, or wax paper, or just set them out on a plate for your next Halloween party (or the next time that your coworkers look like they’re in need of a snack).

Your bars will keep for at least a month in the freezer, but I hope you eat them before that. You are a grown-up and you get to eat as much candy as you want.
