What are the Crunchies in a Crunch Bar?

They’re crisped rice—tiny, airy puffs that give the bar its signature snap. In Homemade Crunch Bars , we use crispy rice cereal for the same effect.

What are the ingredients in a Crunch Bar?

Store-bought ones include milk chocolate, sugar, and crisped rice. But Homemade Crunch Bars use chocolate chips, peanut butter, maple syrup, coconut oil, and rice cereal for a cleaner version.

Are Crunch Bars healthy?

Commercial ones? Not so much. Homemade Crunch Bars , however, can be modified with better fats, less sugar, and whole-food swaps like nut butter and dark chocolate.

What are the ingredients in White Crunch Bars?

White versions use white chocolate (cocoa butter + milk solids) instead of milk or dark chocolate. For homemade, just sub in white chocolate chips and add vanilla or toppings like dried fruit.
