Pour the warm chocolate mixture over the crispy rice cereal, stirring carefully to coat every piece evenly. This step is where texture matters most. Taking the time to mix thoroughly ensures that each bite delivers the perfect balance of crunch and chocolate. Once combined, transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and press it down gently with a spatula to create an even layer.
Refrigerate the dish for at least one hour, allowing the bars to firm up completely. As they chill, the chocolate mixture sets, locking the cereal into place and creating a sliceable texture similar to store-bought candy bars. Once firm, lift the slab out using the parchment paper and cut it into evenly sized bars.
