Ingredients for White Chocolate Fruit Crunch Bars
- White chocolate – use good quality white chocolate bar.
- Rice Krispies – used to gives the bars crunch.
- Dried cranberries – chop the cranberries.
- Nuts – you can use any nuts of choice. I sometimes use chopped walnuts, pecans, or hazelnut.
How to Make White Chocolate Fruit Crunch Bars
1. To a microwavable bowl, add the white chocolate and melt at 40 second increments in the microwave until fully melted. Mix in the rice krispies, dried cranberries and nuts and use your spatula to crush some of the rice krispies.
2. Tip the mixture into an 8-inch baking pan lined with parchment paper and use a palette knife to spread the mixture and press into the pan. Place the pan in the fridge to allow the bars to for set for 1 – 2 hours. Remove the bars from the fridge and cut into 16 squares. This is easily done by cutting into 4 equal pieces then cutting each quarter into another 4.
Recipe Tips
- Though I use white chocolate for this recipe, it also tastes good with dark or milk chocolate.
- This recipe is adaptable so you can omit the nuts from the recipe if you don’t eat them.
- If you can’t get dried cranberries then you can use raisins or dried blueberries.
