Crunchy Cake Bite by Bite: The Recipe for a Perfect Breakfast

How many times have you bought chocolate crunch bars and ended up spending more than you expected? Probably a lot, but you can make them yourself with this incredible recipe, which will allow you to serve something wholesome, with no added sugars and, most importantly, no preservatives. Our recipe has just two main ingredients, plus a special addition... here's the list:

  • 250 grams of puffed rice,
  • 200 grams of 70% dark chocolate,
  • a knob of butter (about 20 grams).

Here's how to prepare the breakfast of your dreams!

Making the crunch cake is really very simple. The amount of butter, which we don't need, is simply used to slightly soften the chocolate, preventing it from becoming too hard later. If you want a lighter touch, you can easily leave it out.

Let's start by melting the chocolate cut into cubes using a bain-marie or in the microwave, add a knob of butter and mix the ingredients together until they become a real cream.

In a separate bowl, place the puffed rice and then fold it into the chocolate using a spatula. Finally, choose a baking pan or tray, line it with parchment paper, and shape the cake into the container. After this, refrigerate for at least an hour, so it can completely harden and become compact. Finally, take the cake again and cut it into several pieces so it's ready for breakfast the next day.

Our crunchy cake is ready to serve. Last but not least, remember that you can make it in many variations using white chocolate, hazelnut chocolate, or simply a mix of the two to make it two-flavored... in short, you can really go wild!
