Puffed Cereal and Chocolate Bars

The puffed cereal and chocolate bars are a sweet and crunchy snack, and the preparation is really simple. Here is the recipe for you:

Ingredients

• 200g of dark chocolate
• 100g of puffed cereals (such as rice or corn)
• 2 tablespoons of honey (optional for extra sweetness)
• A pinch of salt (optional to balance the flavors)

Preparation

1. Start by breaking the dark chocolate into pieces and melt it in a double boiler. Make sure to stir occasionally to prevent the chocolate from sticking or burning.
2. Once the chocolate is completely melted, you can add the honey and a pinch of salt, then stir until you have a homogeneous mixture.
3. Remove the pan from the heat and add the puffed cereals. Gently mix until each grain is coated with chocolate.
4. Line a tray with parchment paper and use a spoon to form small mounds of the mixture.
5. Let the bars cool at room temperature until they have hardened. If it’s very hot, you can speed up the process by putting them in the fridge for about 30 minutes.

Curiosity

This recipe is very versatile: you can enrich it with chopped dried fruit, seeds, or even a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla for a different flavor touch. If you prefer milk chocolate or white chocolate instead of dark, feel free to replace it. These bars are perfect for a quick and delicious break or for a snack after physical activity.

Remember, this is a highly customizable base, so don’t hesitate to experiment with the ingredients that you like the most!
