Instructions

In a small saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Stir in corn syrup and brown sugar, whisking until smooth and lightly bubbling (about 30 seconds). Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
Mix in crushed graham crackers and rice cereal until evenly coated. Press mixture into a small greased pan, ramekin, or dish.
Melt chocolate chips in microwave (15-second bursts) or double boiler. Spread over cereal layer.
Top with sea salt or nuts if using. Let rest 10 minutes at room temp, then chill 5–10 minutes until set.
Use a knife to loosen edges and lift out the bar. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

Use dark or milk chocolate for flavor variation.

Add chopped nuts to the base for texture.

Drizzle peanut butter or caramel over set bar for extra indulgence.

Spice the chocolate with cayenne or espresso powder for boldness.

Microwave method works for quick layering and melting.
