ASMR Chocolate Crunch Bars
Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine milk chocolate chips, peanut butter, and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
- Gently fold in the crispy rice cereal until all pieces are evenly coated with the chocolate mixture.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and press it down evenly using a spatula. Ensure the surface is smooth and level.
- In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Pour the melted dark chocolate over the rice cereal layer, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
- Sprinkle the flaky sea salt evenly over the top layer.
- Refrigerate the bars for at least 1 hour, or until fully set.
- Once set, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Place on a cutting board and slice into 12 equal bars using a sharp knife.
Notes
How to Make Chocolate ASMR Bars
1. Make the Crunchy Base
In a bowl, combine crispy rice cereal with melted milk chocolate and a touch of nut butter. Stir until every little puffed grain is beautifully coated, then press into a parchment-lined pan. Flatten with a spoon to get that satisfying squish and crunch ASMR moment!
2. Add the Creamy Middle
Melt more chocolate with nut butter and coconut oil until velvety-smooth. Pour it over the base and use a spatula to swirl gently—don’t forget to record that glossy drizzle sound!
3. Finish with a Snappy Top Layer
Melt dark chocolate until glossy and pour it as the final layer. Let it settle, then tap the pan lightly for some satisfying clinks. Sprinkle with flaky salt for a soft, delicate crunch that makes ASMR hearts flutter.
4. Chill Until Set
Pop the whole pan into the fridge for 1–2 hours, or until each layer is firm and ready to crack. Slice with a sharp knife to get that iconic snap and crunch.
Pro Tips for Max ASMR Vibes
- Use a glass bowl when mixing to amplify sound.
- Record slicing on a wooden board for deeper resonance.
- Serve bars at room temperature for a perfect bite—not too hard, not too soft.
- Let the chocolate fully set before cutting to avoid squishing the layers.
Flavor Variations
- Nutty Edition: Add chopped hazelnuts or almonds for extra crunch.
- Spicy Kick: Mix in a pinch of cayenne or chili powder.
- Minty Fresh: Add peppermint extract to the middle layer.
- Cookies & Cream: Crumble in chocolate sandwich cookies into the base.

Make-Ahead & Storage
- Make-Ahead: Bars can be made up to 3 days in advance.

Can You Freeze Chocolate ASMR Bars?
Yes! Wrap tightly in plastic and store in a freezer-safe bag. When ready to enjoy, thaw for about 10 minutes at room temp. The sound is still there—crisp and crackly.
Reheating Tips
No need to reheat! But if they get too hard from the fridge, leave them out for 5–10 minutes before enjoying to get the perfect ASMR bite.
FAQs
What makes this a chocolate ASMR recipe?
It’s all about the sounds—crunchy cereal, glossy melted layers, and the crisp snap of set chocolate. Every layer was designed with sound in mind!
Can I use white chocolate instead?
Absolutely. Just know that white chocolate is softer, so the “snap” won’t be quite as sharp—but it’s still dreamy.
How do I make ASMR videos with this?
Use a high-quality mic and film close-ups of stirring, drizzling, slicing, and biting. Natural lighting helps highlight the textures!
Are these good for gifting?
Totally. Just wrap each bar in parchment and place in a cute tin or box. They look and sound impressive.
