Dark chocolate and rice crispies bars, Nestle Crunch style

Did you know that you can make chocolate bars at home with no need for molds and other special equipment? That’s right. And for melting the chocolate, a double boiler isn’t even required. Just microwave the chocolate, stir in whatever you want to add to it, spread and cool until firm, cut into bars and enjoy.

What can be added to the chocolate? Anything and everything, practically. Nuts, coconut flakes, dried fruit, rice crispies… This recipe is a homemade version of Nestle Crunch. I have to hand it to my family who finds the most interesting food-related things on the web. The idea for these chocolate bars was discovered by Speedy on the Facebook page of Joy Bauer, a nutrition/health expert for NBC’s TODAY show. Of course I added a few extras — salt and, to heighten the chocolate flavor even more, a little coffee.

    EmyM, I bet! And if they make it themselves, it’s double the fun!

    Evelyn, I am not familiar with the products in Quiapo. So, I really can’t answer that question.
