No Bake PB Crunch Bars

0 Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
1 In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the peanut butter and honey together, stirring until smooth and combined. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
2 In a large mixing bowl, combine the crispy rice cereal and oats. Pour the warm peanut butter mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until evenly coated.
3 Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to press it down firmly into an even layer. Make sure to compress it well to help the bars hold their shape.
4 In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Alternatively, melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method).
5 Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter base and spread it into an even layer with a spatula.
6 Refrigerate the bars for at least 1-2 hours, or until the chocolate is firm and the base has set.
7 Once set, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Use a sharp knife to cut into squares or rectangles.
