Vanilla Crunch Bars Food

HOMEMADE CRUNCH BARS

Steps:

• Line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper.
• Melt the chocolate in a microwave safe glass bowl in 30 second increments, stirring each time, until full melted.
• Fold in the cereal until full coated then pour into your 8x8 baking dish.
• Spread the mixture out evenly and sprinkle over the kosher salt.
• Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes until the chocolate has completely hardened before slicing with a very sharp knife to avoid crumbling.

NO-BAKE PEANUT BUTTER CRUNCH BARS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl combine the quick oats, rice krispies, coconut, flaxseed meal, and chia seeds. Stir to combine then add the rest of the bar ingredients (except for the water). Mix well. The dough should stick together easily. If not, mix in 1 Tbsp. of water at a time until dough sticks together nicely.
• Line an 8×8 or 9×9 pan with parchment paper so that paper overlaps edges. Transfer the dough to the pan. Spread the dough out evenly and with your hands press dough VERY firmly into the pan.
• Place pan in the freezer for at least 30 minutes (this can be done the day before or even a few days before).
• For the chocolate drizzle: combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir continuously until smooth and drizzly. You may also use a microwave at 50% power for 30-second increments stirring between each increment until smooth and drizzly.
• After bars have been in the freezer, remove the bars from the pan by grabbing onto the parchment paper flaps and place on a cutting board.
• Drizzle the chocolate evenly over the bars. The chocolate should harden quickly since the bars are cold.
• With a sharp knife, cut the bars into 16 squares. Serve and enjoy!
• Bars hold together best when stored in the fridge or freezer.
