📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Line a 9x9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring the edges hang over for easy removal.

2. In a heatproof bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, unsalted butter, and golden syrup.

3. Set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (double-boiler method) and stir gently until the chocolate and butter are melted and smooth.

4. Remove the bowl from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.

5. Add the crispy rice cereal to the melted chocolate mixture and fold gently until all the cereal is thoroughly coated.

6. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly using a spatula, pressing down slightly to compact the mixture.

7. Refrigerate the pan for at least 1 hour, or until the mixture is set and firm.

8. Once set, lift the mixture out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Place it on a cutting board and cut into 12 square or rectangular pieces.

9. Store the Chocolate Crunchies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
