These homemade crunch bars are a simple, no-bake treat inspired by classic chocolate candy bars. They combine crispy rice cereal with a smooth, fudgy mixture of melted chocolate, peanut butter, maple syrup, and coconut oil. The result is a sweet, crunchy snack that comes together quickly and doesn’t require turning on the oven, making it perfect for busy days or warm weather.
To begin, line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper and set it aside. Add three cups of crispy rice cereal to a large mixing bowl. In a separate microwave-safe bowl or saucepan, combine chocolate chips, peanut butter, maple syrup, and coconut oil. Heat gently until fully melted, then whisk until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
