Ingredients for White Chocolate Fruit Crunch Bars
Please find the full list of ingredients and quantities in the recipe card at the end of the post.
- White chocolate – use a good quality white chocolate bar.

- Cranberries – use dried cranberries to give the bars a chewy texture.
- Nuts – you can use any nuts of choice. I sometimes use chopped walnuts, pecans, or hazelnut.
How to Make White Chocolate Fruit Crunch Bars
1. Line an 8-inch square baking tin with parchment paper and ensure you leave some overhang. Set the tin aside.
2. To a microwavable bowl, add the white chocolate and melt at 40 second increments in the microwave until fully melted. Mix in the rice krispies, dried cranberries and nuts and use your spatula to crush some of the rice krispies.
3. Tip the mixture into the tin and use a palette knife to spread the mixture and press into the pan. Place the pan in the fridge to allow the bars to for set for 2 hours. Remove the bars from the fridge and 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.
