Ingredients
Rice crispy layer
- 2 cups rice krispie cereal
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ¼ cup honey or pure maple syrup
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
Middle layer
- ¼ cup creamy peanut butter
- ¼ cup honey or pure maple syrup
Chocolate topping
- ½ cup chocolate chips melted
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
Instructions
- Line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper.
- First we will make the bottom layer. In a large bowl, add the creamy peanut butter, melted coconut oil, and honey. Mix until fully combined and then stir in the rice krispies.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of the 8x8 pan in an even layer. Set aside.
- Now make the middle layer. In a small bowl mix the peanut butter and honey until fully combined. Then spread it on top of the bottom layer.
- Now make the chocolate topping. In a small bowl, melt the chocolate chips with the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil.
- Once it is fully melted, pour it on top of the two layers evenly.
- Place the pan in the fridge for 1-2 hours to set.
- Remove the crunch bars from the pan. They should pop right out since we used parchment paper! Using a sharp knife slice the bars into squares. Enjoy!
- Keep the bars stored in the fridge or freezer for the best results.
