Grease and line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice bubbles and shredded coconut. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the honey, butter, and sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and begins to boil gently.
Allow the mixture to simmer for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Be careful not to overcook as it may harden too much.
Pour the hot honey mixture over the rice bubbles and coconut. Quickly mix everything together using a spatula or wooden spoon until the cereal is evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Press it down firmly and evenly with the back of a spatula or using clean hands.
Let the mixture cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, or place in the refrigerator for faster setting.
Optional: Melt the cooking chocolate in the microwave or over a double boiler. Drizzle or spread it over the top of the Ricebubble Crunch for added flavor.
Once set, lift the mixture out of the baking dish using the parchment overhang. Cut into 12 equal bars or squares using a sharp knife.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
