These Caramel Chocolate Crunch Bars are a delicious combination of gooey caramel, rich chocolate, and crispy crunch. A simple no-bake treat that’s perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups crispy rice cereal
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, pour the crispy rice cereal and set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir constantly and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
  • Pour the caramel mixture over the cereal and gently fold to coat the cereal evenly.
  • Press the mixture into the bottom of a greased 9×9-inch baking pan to form an even layer. Let it cool slightly while preparing the chocolate topping.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and vegetable oil in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
  • Pour the melted chocolate over the caramel crunch layer and spread it evenly with a spatula.
  • Refrigerate the bars for at least 2 hours to allow the caramel to set and the chocolate to firm up.
  • Once chilled, cut into squares and serve!

Notes

  • You can drizzle extra caramel or chocolate on top for a decorative touch.
  • Try adding chopped nuts or dried fruits to the cereal mixture for added texture and flavor.
