Here’s an easy, 3-ingredient No-Bake Homemade Crunch Bar recipe — just like the classic Crunch bars, but richer, fresher, and super quick to make!

You can make them in a pan, as individual bars, or as little squares.

🍫✨ No-Bake Homemade Crunch Bars

Ingredients (Makes 12–16 bars)

2 cups chocolate chips
(milk chocolate for classic flavor, semi-sweet for less sweet, or a mix)
1 tbsp coconut oil or butter (optional—makes chocolate smoother)
2 cups crispy rice cereal (Rice Krispies or generic)

Optional extras:

½ tsp vanilla
Pinch of salt
¼ cup peanut butter (for PB crunch bars)
Mini marshmallows for “rocky road” bars

🥣 Instructions

1. Prepare the pan

Line an 8×8 or 9×9 pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy lifting.

2. Melt the chocolate

Microwave chocolate chips + coconut oil in a bowl:

Heat for 20–30 seconds at a time, stirring between until smooth
OR melt in a double boiler on the stove.

3. Add cereal

Stir in the crispy rice cereal until evenly coated.

Make sure all the cereal gets covered in chocolate.

4. Spread & chill

Pour mixture into your lined pan.
Smooth the top with a spatula.
Refrigerate 1–2 hours or freeze for 20–30 minutes until fully set.

5. Slice

Lift the block out using the parchment and cut into bars or squares.
