Recipe- Healthy And Crunchy Chocolate Crunch Bars

These chocolate crunch bars are a dreamy pairing of chocolatey goodness and crispy puffed rice. Bonus – they’re a healthier take on everyone’s favorite candy bar!Instead of using rice krispies (which are smaller and contain sugar and sometimes sneaky gluten), I’m using plain puffed rice so the chocolate bars aren’t overly sweet. But they still have that delicious crunch to them! Plus, I can’t get over the fact that this treat is so darn easy to make with minimal ingredients. Now that’s a sweet dessert I can always get behind!

Ingredients

1 ½ cups chocolate chips
1 cup puffed rice or puffed quinoa

Method

* In a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in the microwave in 20-second increments, melt the chocolate until smooth. Then stir the puffed rice into the melted chocolate.

* Line an 8½ x 4½ loaf pan with parchment paper, with enough paper up the sides to lift out. Pour the chocolate mixture into the loaf pan in an even layer. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until set.

* Remove the chocolate from the loaf pan and use a warm knife to slice it into bars.
