Chocolate Crunch Nut Barfi


This recipe is so easy to put together and its a firm favorite with my family. We always make it every Diwali or on special occasions. The combination of nut, cereals and chocolate makes it delectable and you will not be able to stop at one piece.

Can I use any cereals?

Yes you can mix and match cereals to your preference, however its better to use non sugar and honey coated cereals as it will make the chocolate crunch barfi too sweet.

What nuts can I use?

You can use any nut combination of your choice as long as you keep the quantities the same.


Can I add Desiccated coconut or coconut flakes?

Yes you can add either desiccated coconut or coconut flakes to the recipe.

Can I add seeds like pumpkin seeds, flax seeds and chia seeds to the recipe?

Yes you can add any of these to the mixture. To do this just reduce the same quantity of cereal and replace with the seeds of your choice.

Can I use Dark Chocolate or White chocolate for the topping?

Yes you can use any type of chocolate as a topping.


Can I use any other type of biscuits?

Yes  you can use gingernut biscuits, malt biscuits  or coconut biscuits in the recipe.


Can I make this recipe Vegan and Gluten free?

This particular version is not vegan or gluten free but it can be converted to vegan and gluten free by using gluten free cereals and vegan chocolate.
This picture below is the gluten free version with vegan chocolate. You can see get the same look and taste as the non vegan and gluten free version.
