DIY CRUNCH BARS from @kalejunkie 🍫 and they are officially my latest sweet treat obsession! For me, food is not only just about flavor, it’s also about TEXTURE! And these diy crunch bars don’t skimp in that department! They are super crunchy and they melt in your mouth! And did I mention that they are SO EASY TO MAKE?!? The recipe makes 16 bars, but I got lazy and cut them into 12 large bars, because bigger is better IMO. Try the recipe and let me know what you think!⁣
⁣
Crunch bars⁣
2 3/4 cups crunchy cereal of choice (puffed rice, rice crispies, etc. I used @lovebird grain-free honey cereal)⁣
1 1/2 cups dairy-free chocolate chips (I used @enjoylifefoods)⁣
1/3 cup maple syrup⁣
2 teaspoons vanilla extract⁣
1 cup creamy peanut butter⁣
3 tablespoons coconut oil⁣
⁣
Topping⁣
1/3 cup dairy-free chocolate chips⁣
1 tablespoon coconut oil⁣
Sea salt flakes⁣
⁣
Line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper and set aside. In a large bowl, add your cereal of choice. Next, in a medium-sauce pan on the stove, add remaining ingredients. Turn heat to low-medium, stirring until all of the ingredients have melted. Turn the heat off and remove the pot from the stove. Pour the chocolate mixture on top of the cereal, and toss to coat well. Transfer to the baking dish. Use a spatula to press the bars firmly into the dish. Next, prepare the chocolate topping. Add chocolate chips and coconut oil to a small dish and melt chocolate—I do this in 2, 30-second increments in the microwave, until fully melted. Drizzle chocolate on top and spread evenly. Sprinkle sea salt on top. Freeze for 1 hour or refrigerate for 2. Slice into bars and enjoy. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy!⁣
