Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 3 cups Puffed rice cereal
- 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
Instructions
Line a baking sheet or an 8x8-inch square pan with parchment paper and set aside.
In a heatproof bowl, break the dark chocolate into small pieces. Add the coconut oil and place the bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Stir occasionally until the chocolate and coconut oil are fully melted and smooth.
Remove the bowl from heat and stir in the honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and sea salt until well combined.
Add the puffed rice cereal to the melted chocolate mixture. Using a spatula, gently fold the mixture until all the cereal is evenly coated with chocolate.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan or scoop it onto the baking sheet. Spread it evenly if using a pan, or form small clusters if dropping onto the sheet.
Place the pan in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours, or until the chocolate sets completely.
Once set, cut into squares if spread on a pan, or leave as clusters if formed individually.
Store the chocolate crunch in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy!
