    Craving a decadent dessert that’s both indulgent and easy to make? These chocolate crumble bars are the perfect sweet treat for any occasion. With a rich, gooey chocolate filling nestled between layers of buttery crumble, they offer a delightful balance of texture and flavor.

    They say that 9 out of 10 people love chocolate and the tenth person lies LOL, so I’m guessing a lot of you will love this recipe!

    These chocolate crumble bars are so good as a little treat with a cup of coffee or you can add them to your mishloh manot. The recipe is parve (non-dairy). But if you don’t mind it to include dairy, simply replace the coconut oil with 1 stick of butter.

    Besides the coconut oil, the recipe only requires a few basic ingredients and is very easy to make, even though there is a double baking process.

    Both the dough and the filling only requires 3 ingredients each, so you are only 6 ingredients away from these yummy chocolate crumble bars.

    The dough in this recipe is used as a base and also as the crumbs on top. First, you bake the base only and then add the chocolate filling and crumbs and continue baking. The outcome is a 3 layer bar cookie. YUM!

    The bars are very crumbly and might fall apart while you cut them, but they still taste amazing - obviously.

    FAQS

    Can I use a different type of chocolate?

    Yes! You can substitute dark chocolate with milk or semi-sweet chocolate for a sweeter taste. Just be mindful that using milk chocolate may result in a slightly softer filling.

    Can I replace the soy milk with another type of milk?

    Yes, you can use any type of milk, such as almond milk, oat milk, or regular dairy milk, depending on your preference or dietary needs.

    What can I use instead of coconut oil?

    You can swap coconut oil with an equal amount of butter (about 1 stick) for a more classic buttery flavor. Vegetable or canola oil could work as well, but it may slightly alter the texture.

    Can I add nuts or other toppings?

    Definitely! You can sprinkle chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or even a drizzle of caramel or chocolate sauce on top of the crumble before baking for added texture and flavor.

    Can I make these bars gluten-free?

    Absolutely. You can substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Make sure it’s a 1:1 replacement to maintain the texture.

    How do I store chocolate crumble bars?

    Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can refrigerate them for up to a week or freeze them for up to 2 months.

    Can I freeze chocolate crumble bars?

    Yes! After the bars have cooled completely, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and store them in an airtight container in the freezer. Thaw at room temperature when ready to enjoy.

    What size pan should I use?

    A 9x13-inch baking pan works best for this recipe, but you can also use a slightly smaller or larger pan. Just adjust the baking time accordingly.

    Can I make the recipe ahead of time?

    Yes, these bars can be made a day or two in advance. Just store them in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator, depending on your preference.
