### Instructions
1. **Prepare the Baking Pan:**
– Line a square or rectangular baking dish (about 8×8 inches) with parchment paper. This will make it easier to remove the slice once it’s set and help prevent it from sticking.
2. **Melt the Chocolate, Butter, and Honey:**
– In a heatproof bowl, break up the milk chocolate into smaller pieces. Add the butter and honey (or golden syrup) to the bowl. Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (double-boiler method) and stir until the chocolate and butter have fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
– Alternatively, you can melt the mixture in the microwave by heating it in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until fully melted and combined.
3. **Mix in the Crunchie Bar:**
– While the chocolate mixture is melting, chop up the Crunchie bar into small pieces or crush it into chunks (a rolling pin or mallet works great for this). Once the chocolate mixture is smooth, add in the chopped Crunchie pieces and stir them in until evenly distributed.
4. **Combine with Rice Krispies:**
– In a large bowl, add the Rice Krispies (or puffed rice cereal). Pour the chocolate, butter, and honeycomb mixture over the cereal and gently mix everything together, ensuring that the cereal is fully coated with the chocolate mixture. Be careful not to crush the cereal.
5. **Set the Slice:**
– Once everything is combined, transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Press the mixture down gently with a spoon or spatula to even it out and compact it slightly. Make sure the mixture is evenly spread across the pan.
6. **Chill:**
– Refrigerate the Crunchie slice for about 1-2 hours or until it has firmed up completely. The slice will become solid and easy to cut into squares or bars.
7. **Serve and Enjoy:**
– Once the slice has set, cut it into squares or slices of your desired size. Serve and enjoy the deliciously crunchy, chocolaty goodness!
### Tips for the Best 5-Ingredient No-Bake Crunchie Slice:
– **Chocolate Variations:** If you prefer a richer, darker flavor, feel free to swap the milk chocolate for dark chocolate. You can even use white chocolate for a different flavor profile.
– **Cereal Options:** While Rice Krispies are the classic choice, you can substitute them with other puffed cereals like cornflakes or even rolled oats for a different texture.
– **Customize the Mix-ins:** If you’d like to add more flavor or crunch, you can throw in some chopped nuts like almonds or hazelnuts, or even dried fruit like cranberries or raisins.
– **Storage:** Store the Crunchie slice in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. If you want to make it last longer, you can freeze the slices for up to 3 months.
