Frequently Asked Questions

Can I store these bars at room temperature?

 

It’s best to store No-Bake Homemade Crunch Bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them firm and prevent the chocolate from melting in warm temperatures.

Can I use other cereal types?

While crispy rice cereal is the classic choice, you can experiment with other cereals like cornflakes or bran flakes for a different texture.

• 1/2 cup 1/2 (120g) unsalted butter

• 1/4 cup 1/4 (60ml) light corn syrup

• 1 teaspoon 1 vanilla extract

• Pinch salt

Directions

• Line an 8×8-inch (20x20cm) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.
• In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, unsalted butter, and light corn syrup.

• Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, mixing until well combined.
• Gently fold in the crispy rice cereal until it’s evenly coated with the chocolate mixture.
• Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan and use a greased spatula or your hands to press it down firmly and evenly.
• Place the pan in the refrigerator and let the bars chill for at least 1-2 hours, or until they are firm and set.

• Use a sharp knife to cut the chilled mixture into individual No-Bake Homemade Crunch Bars.
• Serve your crispy, chocolaty bars and enjoy the delightful crunch in every bite!
