Instructions
Prepare the Pan
Line a loaf, square, or round cake pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
Crush the Crunch Mix
In a large bowl, combine the crushed cookies, cereal, and wafer sticks. Keep a variety of sizes for texture contrast.
Melt Chocolate Mixture
Gently melt the chocolates and butter in a microwave or saucepan.
Stir in sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, and salt until glossy and smooth.
Combine & Fold
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the dry mix-ins.
Gently fold until all ingredients are well-coated, being careful not to crush the crunchy elements.
Press into Pan
Transfer mixture to the pan and press down firmly and evenly with a spatula. Pack tightly for clean slicing.
Make Ganache Topping
Heat heavy cream until steaming, then pour over chocolate.
Let sit 1–2 minutes, then stir until smooth. Add butter if desired.
Pour over the cake and smooth the top.
Chill
Refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours, or until fully firm. Do not freeze before slicing.
Serve
Once firm, lift out of pan and slice with a sharp knife. Garnish as desired.
Notes
Use high-quality chocolate for best flavor and texture.
Don’t overheat chocolate—melt gently.
Add crunch last to keep it crisp.
Press mixture tightly for a sliceable result.
Store in the fridge, not at room temp.
