Make your own homemade crunch bars at home with this easy nestle crunch recipe! It takes just a few minutes and a few ingredients to make these delicious chocolate crunch bars that taste just like the popular candy bar!
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.
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.
2 1/2 cups chocolate chips, 1 TBS coconut oil
Heat the chocolate chips, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate is smooth and melted.
Remove the melted chocolate from the heat and stir in the rice cereal.
3 cups rice cereal
Pour the rice cereal mixture into the prepared 8×8 pan. Flatten down the mixture using a wooden spoon or spatula.
Chill the crunch bars in the fridge for about 2 hours or 30 minutes in the freezer.
Remove the pan from the fridge and firmly lift the two sides of the parchment paper to remove from the pan.
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!
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.
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.
Notes
Make sure to have your parchment paper long enough so that you can pull the bars out of the pan easily. This will make cutting the bars so much easier than trying to do it in the bar.Fancy these up for Valentine’s Day by adding sea salt and Valentine’s Day sprinkles on top of the chocolate drizzle. Just because they taste like crunch bars doesn’t mean they can’t also just double as yummy chocolate bars!Store in an airtight storage container (or a gallon size ziploc bag) at room temperature for up to five days. If you don’t store in an airtight container, the bars will dry out faster.
