How to Make White Chocolate Fruit and Nut Crunch Bars

Start by lining an 8-inch square baking tin with parchment paper and setting the tin aside.

Melt the white chocolate

Add the white chocolate to a microwavable bowl and melt in the microwave at 40 second increments.

Combine the white chocolate with the Rice Krispies, fruit and nuts

Add in the Rice Krispies, dried cranberries and nuts then fold them in using a spatula. While mixing, crush some of the Rice Krispies.

Transfer the mixture to the tin

Tip the mixture into the tin and using a palette knife, spread the mixture and press it into the pan so it is tightly snug.

Refrigerate

Refrigerate the bar for 2 hours then 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.

Storage

You can store these bars in an airtight container at room temperature. If you prefer, you can store them in the fridge and they can keep up to a week.
