Classic Homemade Crunch Bars You Can Make Without Baking

If you prefer, peanut butter can be replaced with almond butter, sunflower seed butter, or another favorite option. The recipe is flexible, which makes it easy to adapt over time.

Preparing Your Pan and Cereal
Start by lining an eight-by-eight-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Let a bit of paper hang over the sides, as this will make it much easier to lift the bars out later. This small step saves time and prevents sticking.

Measure three cups of crispy rice cereal and place them into a large mixing bowl. Take a moment to break up any clumps so the cereal stays light and evenly coated once the chocolate mixture is added.

Melting the Chocolate Mixture
In a microwave-safe bowl or a saucepan on the stovetop, combine the chocolate chips, peanut butter, maple syrup, and coconut oil or butter. Heat gently, stirring occasionally, until everything has melted together smoothly.

It is important to use low heat and patience here. Rushing can cause the chocolate to scorch or separate. Once melted, whisk the mixture until it looks glossy and well blended.

This smooth base is what gives homemade crunch bars their rich, satisfying bite.
