You might have guessed that I love to make homemade versions of my favorite candies.
Afterall, I have a homemade mounds bars, a homemade peppermint patties, and a homemade snickers bar, so what comes next? A homemade nestle crunch bar!
These homemade nestle crunch bars are so easy. They are almost too easy, but they really taste so close to the real thing.
These would make a perfect Christmas gift paired with one or two of my other homemade candies. Who wouldn’t want a plate of homemade candy for Christmas?!
Homemade Nestle Crunch Bars
- 24 ounces of chocolate chips (You can use milk chocolate, dark chocoate, or white chocolate)
- 1 ½ cups rice krispies ( I used the gluten free brown rice ones)
- In a large bowl melt chocolate in the micorwave at 50% power, stirring every 30 seconds until melted.
- Once the chocolate is melted, stir in the rice krispies. Stir until mixed together well.
- Line a 9×13 pan with parchement paper. (This helps the bars come out of the pan.)
- Spread chocolate mixture into the pan.
- Refridgerate until firm.
- Remove from fridge and let stand at room temperature for a few minutes, this will make them easier to cut. Remove from pan and cut into squares.
- Serve and enjoy!
- These will keep fine in the fridge for several days, so they are the perfect make ahead holiday candy.

I love to cook and bake, and it is a good thing, because my family loves to eat. I live with my husband and three kids on 43 acres in Northeastern Oklahoma. Between homeschooling, helping in my husband’s dental office, working on our property, taking care of three dogs, and raising hogs as a side job/hobby, I am constantly on the go like most of you.
These are so easy! Why haven’t I thought of these?
Delicious! Love this idea.
how simple!
I love this, Lynn! And I bet my kids would get a real kick out of making them with me! And then maybe we could package them up to accompany their teachers’ gifts.
Thanks!
My girls love making these all by themselves, so yes they are a great thing for kids to make. And I love the teacher gift idea. I bet any teacher would love these.
We must share a brain!! I just bought some Bob’s Red Mill Rice Crispies to make these, but was unsure of the measurements. Now I know! Thanks!
I’ve just started eating gluten free and the hardest thing for me has been finding snacky/candy stuff. Thanks for posting this!
I put this on my blog today and linked back to you. What a great easy recipe
No micro. They’re chillin’ now. Can’t wait to cut them up and eat ‘em!
I hope you enjoy them!
They are wonderful! I’m going to make more today!
Can’t wait to make these, as well as your other homemade cand bars. My son has never had a Crunch bar, because of his food allergies. He will be so excited
Thank you so much!
I hope he enjoys them! We miss our candy bars now that we have food issues, so I understand.
Hi Lynn,
This is great! Have you tried making Nestle’s Buncha Crunch at home too?
May we beg a recipe or how to share of it as well?
Thanks!
Blessings,
Alfie
I am not sure I have ever had those, but now you have me curious. I might have to try to come up with something like that.
I’d forgotten about the Nestle Crunch bars, I used to really enjoy them. I love this recipe because it can be a healthy treat!
