Ingredients
- 3 cups crispy rice cereal
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil or vegetable oil
Instructions
- Begin by lining a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil, leaving some overhang for easy removal later on. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the crispy rice cereal and chocolate chips. Set aside.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, include the shelled nut butter, maple syrup, and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Pour the peanut butter mixture over the crispy rice cereal and chocolate chips. Using a spatula, gently fold everything together until the cereal is evenly coated with the peanut butter mixture.
- Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly and pressing it down firmly with the back of a spoon or spatula to compact it.
- Put the skillet within the fridge for at slightest 1 hour, or until the bars are firm and set.
- Once the bars are chilled and set, use the overhang of the parchment paper or foil to lift them out of the pan. Transfer them to a cutting board and slice into individual bars or squares.
- Serve and enjoy these Homemade Crunch Bars as a delightful snack or dessert!
