Why You’ll Love This No-Bake Crunchie Slice
Let’s be honest, not everyone wants to mess around with fussy, complicated desserts or stand over a hot stove for hours. There are so many reasons this quick no-bake Crunchie slice should jump to the top of your treat list (or, call it a cheat list).
First, it’s faster than trying to find a parking spot at the grocery store on a Saturday. I can whip this up in the time it takes to brew a cup of coffee. Plus, you don’t need fancy ingredients—Crunchie bars, some basic pantry staples, and you’re off.
Another solid reason: no bake means no guessing whether your oven will betray you. I have the worst luck with unevenly baked goods, so this is bliss. The textures are wild too—chewy, crispy, chocolatey—seriously addictive. Kids love it (even picky ones). Honestly, it disappears quicker than you can scroll through your texts.

What Makes This Recipe Special?
Here’s where it gets fun. This quick no-bake Crunchie slice isn’t just another bland slice—it’s an explosion of chocolate, caramel, and those irresistibly crunchy bits from Honeycomb. You get all the joy of a candy bar plus homemade bragging rights.
Okay, confession: I probably eat more of the mixture than I should before it even hits the tray. But if I have to pick a standout feature, it’s the wild contrast between gooey chocolate and the nuggets of Crunchie bars inside. Also, it keeps so well in the fridge, which is perfect for folks like me who love to snack secretly at midnight.
Variations are endless too, which I love. Swap in a different chocolate bar, add roasted nuts, or even a sprinkle of sea salt on top. Tastes like you’ve raided a five-star restaurant’s dessert table, but you did it barefoot at home.

Equipment You’ll Need
You seriously don’t need a kitchen full of gadgets for this quick no-bake Crunchie slice. That’s part of the charm, in my opinion.
Heck, a mixing bowl, wooden spoon or spatula, and a regular square baking tin will do the trick. If you’re feeling a bit pro, line your tin with non-stick baking paper. Less washing up, which is always a bonus. Oh, and if you have a microwave, melting the chocolate is a literal breeze, though the stovetop works too.
No food processor, no electric mixer, nothing fancy. Just the good old basics. When I tell people it’s that easy, they usually don’t believe me until they actually try it themselves.

Step By Step Instructions
All right, let me walk you through how I throw together my quick no-bake Crunchie slice. Promise, it’s as simple as dumping, mixing, and chilling. I tend to fudge (pun intended) amounts if I’m in a hurry, but here’s how I usually do it.
Grab about 4-5 Crunchie bars and chop them up into irregular chunks—don’t go too tiny, you want those pieces to pop. In a mixing bowl, toss together some crushed biscuits (I usually raid whatever’s open—digestives, shortbread, whatever), the chopped Crunchie bars, and a small handful of mini marshmallows if you’re feeling wild.
Next, melt together some chocolate and a generous dollop (tablespoon-ish) of golden syrup in the microwave or over low heat. Stir until glossy. Pour this straight over your dry stuff and mix until everything’s coated. Flatten into your lined tin—press it down so it’ll hold together.
Shove it in the fridge for at least 90 minutes. Seriously, don’t rush, or you’ll get crumbly chaos when you try to slice it. Then just chop it into squares and, voilà, serve.
(And trust me, this is miles easier than baking a cake.) If you liked this method, try out the simple steps in my no-bake buckeye graham crackers as well.
Expert Tips
All right, some real talk about getting the perfect quick no-bake Crunchie slice—because let’s face it, even “easy” treats can flop if you’re not careful.
First, let your slice set up in the coldest part of your fridge. Room temp just isn’t going to cut it, especially in the summer. If you want neater slices, run a knife under hot water and wipe it dry before you cut. It works magic.
Don’t chop your Crunchie bars too fine—you want bits big enough to crunch. Don’t be shy on chocolate, either. I’m not saying you should drown the thing, but there’s no shame piling it on (you can never have too much, right?).
Lastly, if you get crumbs everywhere, just scoop them up and snack as a chef’s treat. No one’s judging.
You might want to try sprinkling a bit of sea salt over the top before chilling for a fancy twist. A friend swears by it, and I have to admit, it’s kinda brilliant. If you’re hunting for snacks for lunchboxes or parties, these no-bake buckeye graham crackers are another reliable win.
Serving Suggestions
- Cut into squares and pile on a platter for parties, school fetes, or just because.
- Pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a super-simple dessert.
- Wrap up pieces in baking paper to slip into lunchboxes.
- Crumble over yogurt for a sneaky breakfast.
Common Questions
Can I use different chocolate bars?
Of course! Crunchie is classic, but Violet Crumble, Picnic, or really any favorite bar works.
Can I freeze the slice?
Yep, absolutely. Just wrap tightly in foil or a container and thaw before eating.
What if my slice falls apart?
It might need longer to chill, or maybe add a splash more chocolate to help bind it next round.
How long does this keep?
Easily a week in the fridge, maybe more. Good luck getting it to last that long.
Can I make this gluten free?
Yup, just use gluten-free biscuits as a base, and double-check your chocolate’s label.
