3-Ingredient Homemade Crunch Cups

Homemade crunch cups are an easy, no-bake 3-ingredient recipe that’s perfect for a yummy chocolate treat!
Prep Time10 minutes
Total Time10 minutes
Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 2 teaspoons melted unsalted butter, or sub coconut oil
  • ¾ cup crispy rice cereal, such as Rice Krispies or brown rice cereal

Instructions

  • Spray a 12-count mini muffin tin with cooking spray and set aside. (Or use half of a 24-count mini muffin tin.)
  • Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir chocolate chips with a spoon and continue to microwave in 30-second intervals until chocolate chips are mostly melted. Stir well to melt the chips completely.
  • Add the melted butter and cereal to the melted chocolate and stir until well combined.
  • Divide the mixture into the prepared mini muffin cups. Place in the freezer for 10-15 minutes, until firm.
  • Remove the chocolate crunch bites from the muffin tin and serve. Extras can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

You can make these gluten-free and vegan and dairy-free by the ingredients you choose. For instance, ensure your cereal is labeled-gluten free, choose coconut oil instead of butter and use a vegan chocolate chip brand.
Tip: I spray my mini muffin tin with cooking spray to help these crunch cups release easily. I let them sit on a paper towel to remove the extra spray. Or you can use mini muffin tin liners for a fun touch.
Storage: Once these set up in the freezer, they can be stored in the refrigerator, in an airtight container, for up to a week. You’ll want to let them sit out for a few minutes before eating though so they aren’t rock hard. (But heads up that if they sit out for more than 25-30 minutes, they will start to get a little melty and messy around the edges.)
