Preparation Steps

• In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and peanut butter. Heat in the microwave at 30-second intervals, stirring in between until everything is smoothly melted and combined.
• Stir in the honey and vanilla extract into the melted mixture, ensuring everything is incorporated well.
• In a large mixing bowl, add the crunchy rice cereal, then pour the melted chocolate-peanut butter mixture over it. Using a spatula, gently fold the cereal until it’s fully coated.
• Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Transfer the mixture into the prepared dish and press it down firmly to create an even layer.
• Place the baking dish in the refrigerator for about 1-2 hours or until set.
• Once the mixture is firm, remove it from the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares and enjoy your delicious homemade crunch bars!
