Step 3: Add the Crispy Rice
Once the chocolate is melted, add the crispy rice cereal and vanilla extract (if using). Gently fold the cereal into the chocolate until each piece is evenly coated.
Step 4: Pour and Spread
Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan. Spread it out evenly with a spatula, making sure the cereal is distributed well and the surface is smooth.
Step 5: Chill to Set
Place the pan in the refrigerator for about 1 hour, or until the chocolate is firm.
Step 6: Slice and Enjoy
Once set, lift the chocolate block out of the pan using the parchment paper. Cut into bars or squares with a sharp knife.
Variations to Try
- Dark Chocolate Crunch: Swap milk chocolate for dark chocolate for a more sophisticated flavor.
- Nutty Crunch: Add chopped almonds, peanuts, or hazelnuts for extra crunch.
- Festive Touch: Mix in dried cranberries or colorful sprinkles for holiday celebrations.
A Bite of Nostalgia
Every time I make this recipe, I’m reminded of those late nights in 1995, sitting with a Nestlé Crunch bar in hand while dreaming about meeting my twins. Now, I can share this treat with them and laugh about how their kicks always seemed to get stronger after I’d given in to my chocolate craving.
This homemade Nestlé Crunch bar recipe isn’t just about chocolate—it’s about recreating memories and passing on flavors that connect generations.
Would you like me to also format this into a printable recipe card style (with prep time, cook time, and servings), so it feels more like something you could save and share?
