What’s your favorite candy bar? For some people, it’s peanut butter cups, for others it’s Almond Joy, or maybe even cookie dough bars (that totally counts as candy, right?).

For some people, it’s paleo chocolate cupcakes. Okaaaaay, fine, those don’t qualify as candy… and neither do these peanut butter cup rice crispy treats. But, still! (They’re so yummy, so who cares?) 🙂

For other people—make that super awesome people—it’s crunch bars! 🙂

That sounded a little too biased, didn’t it? Darn it… Y’all know that I have a soft spot for all the candy bars in my heart. And I’ve definitely made it one of my missions to remake these bars into healthified versions. 3 Ingredient Homemade Crunch Bars is one of my latest candy creations!

If you’re new around these parts, here’s a teeny tiny directory of what I’m talking about. Let’s call it the Beaming Baker Candy Directory. Oooh…. Sounds all official and delicious, doesn’t it?? And of course, everything’s vegan and gluten free! 🙂

And there’s more where that came from… by now I hope you’re drooling over one of my true loves: homemade candy! I seriously do not know where this even came from.

But if I had to guess, I’d say it’s because of my momma.

When she first caught a glimpse of all those homemade candy treats, she immediately demanded I make her a healthified version of Almond Joy. Okay, she didn’t demand it… she just gently suggested it. Like, 5 million times. 😉 By that time, a few more chocolate dessert cups were in the works… and my mom was ready to print out business cards for my candy shop.

Btw, my mom really loves business cards. I cannot begin to say why. But on that note, I really should make her some funny business cards… just for a few laughs.

Just 3 Ingredients for Vegan Crunch Bars!

Anyway, by the time Christmas rolled around, I realized that I hadn’t created a crunch bar recipe. Gasp!!! And since I was adding peppermint to anything and everything (don’t even ask about the peppermint curry and peppermint candy-shaped hand soap I made…), I thought, why not add peppermint to crunch bars??

As usual, something that seemed totally normal and par for the course in my mind ended up being kind of unexpected and unusual to others. <– That’s what I get for being so “interesting.” 😉

The great news is that everyone LOVED the recipe: 4 Ingredient Peppermint Crunch Bars. But then, Christmas was over. Boooooooo… And I had to put the ol’ guy away. Double boooooo…

Then I realized, “Duh, Demeter… make a normal, non-quirky, non-peppermint-y, all-seasons version so you can spread the word far and wide all year!!! Oh, and stop talking to yourself! It’s weird. Also, pick up more apples at the grocery store this weekend.”

I duly noted all pieces of sage advice. Then updated my shopping list. And did not tell myself thanks. Ahem.

So here we are! Are you as excited as I am? Do you feel a teeny tiny bit backwards that I shared the peppermint version first, then this version?

Either way, I’m super excited to tell you all about these homemade crunch bars!

Description

3 Ingredient Homemade Crunch Bar Recipe (V, GF): Quick & easy DIY crispy homemade crunch bars! Made with rich, decadent chocolate and vegan gluten free brown rice crisp cereal. Vegan, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups vegan chocolate chips
  • 2 teaspoons coconut oil*
  • 3/4 cup vegan gluten free brown rice crisp cereal

Instructions

  1. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, greased foil or wax paper. Or, use this break-apart candy mold. Set aside at room temperature.
  2. Melt the chocolate using the double boiler method, or do the following: add chocolate chips and coconut oil to a medium, microwave-safe bowl (large enough to add cereal later). Heat in 20-second increments until softened and melty. Stir in between heating increments, until smooth.
  3. Add cereal to melted chocolate. Here is the vegan gluten free brown rice crisp cereal I use. Using a rubber spatula, stir and fold until well incorporated. Pour this mixture into the prepared baking pan. Using the spatula, smooth into an even layer. Tap the pan a few times to help even out the mixture.
  4. Allow to set at room temperature until firm. Or, for a quick fix, follow freezing instructions. Transfer this pan into the freezer. Freeze for 10-15 minutes. Remove from freezer and allow to thaw for 10-15 minutes. Slice into 18 rectangular bars (3 rows by 6 columns). Enjoy! Storing instructions below.

Also try the peppermint version: 4 Ingredient Peppermint Chocolate Crunch Bars.

    I LOOOVE the simplicity of this recipe! I understand you can leave the coconut oil out, but I’d like to include the fat. However, my family doesn’t appreciate coconut oil. Would bacon fat or another fat work in place of coconut oil? Also, is there anything we can use in place of rice cereal? I’m trying to get back towards the paleo diet. I know I’m basically asking you to remake this recipe. But if you could throw out some options, that would be great! I LOOOOOVE three ingredient recipes (or recipes with very few ingredients) Muchas gracias~

      I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed the recipe Ana! As for the fat change, I’m not sure if that one would work as I haven’t tried it. I will say that if you use refined coconut oil (not virgin) it will have a neutral taste, so they shouldn’t be able to detect it (especially in that smaller amount). As for the swap from rice cereal, you could try coconut shreds. I’d recommend giving this recipe a try: 2 Ingredient Chocolate Coconut Candy Clusters. Hope this helps!

    Made this twice. First as just a test run and gave it to friends who require gluten-free. They loved it. I thought it was a little too dark chocolatey. Made two batches for a party…used semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips (this lessened the dark chocolate taste a little) and more rice crispies. They were a hit again and were finished by everyone, not just those with gluten allergies. Plan to add nuts to the recipe and see how it goes.
    Thank you Demeter! I’m going to try your GF vegan peanut butter cups soon.

    Just a warning if you have to eat gluten free – do not substitute plain Kellog’s Rice Krispies in this recipe. Kellog’s Rice Krispies are made with barley malt, which contains gluten. The brown rice puffed rice cereal linked to in the recipe is OK though 🙂

      Hi JP! I actually switch back and forth between tons of different vegan chocolates. Here are a few that I like, some that happen to be “accidentally” vegan and affordable: Guittard Semisweet Chocolate Chips (or Extra Dark if your friend enjoys dark chocolate), Trader Joe’s Semisweet Chocolate Chips. But if your friend has a dairy allergy, I’d definitely recommend going for Enjoy Life. Also, here’s a guide with a few others: http://namelymarly.com/dairy-free-chocolate-chip-guide/

I’ve been eyeing those almond butter fudge cup, as I’m totally obsessed with almond butter, but these may be right up there on my must-try list! Love the idea of taking a super successful, beloved recipe and making a “plain,” year round appropriate version! These look amazing.

    The crunch bar flavor order matters not, as long as all the delicious crispy-studded chocolate treats make it here one way or another!! Because as you know it’s my fave chocolate bar. And as you know I’m going to need you to send me an entire batch. Or two. And some funny business cards as well please, because whats snack time without laughs to go with.?? Luckily PB cups aren’t technically a chocolate “bar” because I love them a whole, whole lot too so throw a batch of those in will ya.? Between the BB no-bake directory and the BB candy directory you are just going to have organized listings of ALLLL the most delicious things pretty soon. Never ever stop talking to yourself, and never ever stop making candy, kay?❤️❤️ xo

      Woot woot! As long as I have mah bestie’s approval, that’s all I need. 😉 Alright, two batches of crunch bars and a whole lotta zany business cards, coming right up! I will most certainly throw in PB cups and any other cups I may have made straight into your care package. 😉 Let’s get all the directories together (yours and mine) and let’s just make all the things. It will be SO tasty. LOLOL. Never! xoxox <3 <3

    You are most DEFINITELY the candy queen, mi-lady! And I would just like to note that these are no bake, so are are STILL the beaming no baker… and obviously that makes me super happy! 😉 These crunch bars look WAY better than the kind in the store, Demeter! Gimme all the dang crunch! These would make a great gift for Valentine’s day! I’m thinking I absolutely MUST make these for Boy. And since they are only 3 ingredients, made in ONE bowl, no bake, and just a BREEZE to whip together, I have ZERO excuse not to! Pinned of course! Cheers, lovely! xoxoxoxox

    Demeter! These look fantastic! And vegan chocolate chips = guilt free right? 😉
    So – I gotta say, your mom sure is onto something – and am not just talking bout business cards – lady – I think that Beaming Baker Candy Shop is a genius idea – I’d shop at it for sure! And – it could even be virtual – depending on the rules in your state, you could maybe start a cottage food business – and BOOM! Anyway – that’s me day dreaming for ya!
    Happy Monday, sweet friend!

      So guilt-free! 😉 All things in moderations, right? 😉 Lol. It’s only a matter of time before the candy shop opens. You’ll be one of the first people to receive a carefully-picked business card by my mom. Haha. Happy Monday, Shashi! <3

    Three ingredient crunch bars?! Sign me UP! I’m definitely a huge fan of reese’s, but nestle crunch bars hold a special place in my heart, too, and this is what these remind me of! Love ho easy this is, Demeter! I really don’t think you could find an easier (or more delicious!) recipe than this. Wish I had this ENTIRE batch right now! PInned, of course! Happy Monday to you!
