Calling all chocolate lovers! You’re NOT going to believe how easy these 3-ingredient chocolate crunch bars are to make. Seriously, they taste EXACTLY like that beloved candy bar, but are dangerously simple. Prepare yourself, because one bite is never enough! 
Here’s how to whip up this delightful treat:
**3-Ingredient Chocolate Crunch Bars**
**Yields:** 12-16 bars
**Prep time:** 10 minutes
**Chill time:** 1-2 hours
**Ingredients:**
-
1 cup (2 sticks or 226g) unsalted butter, melted
-
* 2 cups (340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips (or milk chocolate if you prefer sweeter!)
-
* 6 cups crispy rice cereal (like Rice Krispies)
**Instructions:**
-
**Prep your pan:** Line an 8×8 inch (or similar sized) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang to make lifting easy.
-
2. **Melt and mix:** In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Add the chocolate chips to the melted butter and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
-
3. **Get your crunch on:** Add the crispy rice cereal to the melted chocolate mixture. Gently stir until the cereal is evenly coated. Don’t overmix, or the cereal might break down!
-
4. **Press into the pan:** Pour the cereal mixture into your prepared baking pan. Use a spatula or your hands (lightly greased if needed) to press the mixture evenly and firmly into the pan. This is important for creating those nice, compact bars.
-
5. **Chill out:** Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours, or until firm throughout.
-
6. **Slice and enjoy:** Once firm, lift the entire block out of the pan using the parchment paper. Cut into bars of your desired size.
These are perfect for a quick sweet fix, an easy dessert for a crowd, or just to satisfy that candy bar craving! Let me know if you try them!
