- 1 ½ cups (45 g) of crispy rice cereal – Such as Rice Krispies or any puffed rice cereal.

- 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking dish

Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Pan
Line your baking dish with parchment paper, leaving a bit of overhang on the sides. This makes it easy to lift the bars out once they’re set. Lightly grease the paper with butter or a bit of oil if desired.
Step 2: Melt the Chocolate
There are two simple ways to melt your chocolate:
Option 1: Double Boiler Method
- Fill a saucepan with a few inches of water and bring it to a simmer.
- Place a heatproof bowl on top, making sure it doesn’t touch the water.
- Add the chocolate chips (and coconut oil or butter if using) into the bowl.
- Stir gently until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
