Ingredients

  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon salted butter (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • 1 cup chopped pecans (or any preferred nuts)
  • 1 cup crispy rice cereal
  • 3/4 cup white chocolate chips
  • Sprinkles or sea salt (optional) for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare: Line a 10×13″ baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine dark and milk chocolate chips. Heat for 45 seconds, then add butter and coconut oil. Stir well, then microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each until smooth.
  3. Mix: In a separate bowl, mix white chocolate chips, nuts, and crispy rice cereal.
  4. Combine: Pour the melted chocolate over the dry ingredients and mix until well coated.
  5. Assemble: Spread the mixture onto the lined baking sheet, ensuring an even layer about 1/4″ thick. Add sprinkles or sea salt if desired.
  6. Chill: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or until fully set.
  7. Cut & Serve: Once hardened, use a sharp knife to cut into bars or break into bite-sized pieces.

Notes

  • Nut-Free Version: Replace pecans with extra crispy rice cereal.
  • Peanut Butter Option: Swirl in 1/4 cup peanut butter for added creaminess.
  • Gluten-Free: Ensure all ingredients, especially the crispy rice cereal, are certified gluten-free.
  • Storage Tip: Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or refrigerate for 2 weeks.
