Description
Delicious no-bake chocolate peanut butter corn flake bars, perfect for a quick treat!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup natural creamy peanut butter (unsweetened)
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 cups corn flakes (gluten-free, crushed lightly)
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups dark chocolate chips (dairy-free if desired)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine peanut butter and maple syrup. Stir constantly for about 2-3 minutes, until the mixture is smooth and just begins to bubble.
- Remove the pan from heat. Stir in sea salt and vanilla extract. Gently fold in the crushed corn flakes until thoroughly coated.
- Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan. Press down firmly and evenly with a spatula or your hands to pack it tightly. Chill in the freezer for at least 20 minutes to firm up.
- While the bars are chilling, melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until smooth.
- Remove the chilled mixture from the pan and cut into desired bar shapes (about 12 pieces). Dip each piece into the melted chocolate mixture using a fork, letting excess drip off, and place on a parchment-lined tray.
- Return to the freezer for another 15-20 minutes, or until chocolate is set.
Notes
- Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- For a crunchy texture, ensure corn flakes are lightly crushed.
