Homemade Nestle Crunch Bar Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups chocolate chips
good quality
- 1 TBS coconut oil
- 3 cups rice cereal
- sea salt flakes
for garnish
Directions
- 1
Prepare an 8×8 baking pan by lining it with parchment paper. Make sure there is plenty of parchment paper on the sides so you can lift it out of the square pan once the bars are done.
- 2
Melt the chocolate chips, bring a small pot of water to a simmer over medium heat. Put the chocolate chips and coconut oil into a heat proof bowl. Place the bowl over the boiling pot of water.
- 3
Heat the chocolate chips, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate is smooth and melted.
- 4
Remove the melted chocolate from the heat and stir in the rice cereal.
- 5
Pour the rice cereal mixture into the prepared 8×8 pan. Flatten down the mixture using a wooden spoon or spatula.
- 6
Chill the crunch bars in the fridge for about 2 hours or 30 minutes in the freezer.
- 7
Remove the pan from the fridge and firmly lift the two sides of the parchment paper to remove from the pan.
- 8
Slice the candy into bars using a sharp knife. I recommend cutting them into about 8 slices, but make them any size you want! If you like the mini Nestle crunch bars, you can make minis!
- 9
If you'd like to decorate the bars, you can dip them in more melted chocolate or drizzle it on top to give the sea salt something to stick to.
- 10
Sprinkle with sea salt flakes for garnish if desired.

Place final bars on a baking sheet and allow them final chocolate to harden before serving.
