Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1 cup Peanut Butter Can substitute with almond or sunflower seed butter for nut-free option.
  • 1/3 cup Maple Syrup or Honey Consider agave syrup for a vegan choice.
  • 2 cups Corn Flakes Can swap with gluten-free cereal or crushed rice cakes for a gluten-free treat.
For the Coating
  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips Use dark chocolate for a bolder flavor or dairy-free chocolate if needed.
  • 2 tablespoons Coconut Oil Can be omitted if you don't have it on hand.

Equipment

  • Loaf pan
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Rolling Pin

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by preparing the corn flakes in a large zip-top bag. Crush them into small pieces for desired texture.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine peanut butter and maple syrup or honey until smooth. Add crushed corn flakes and mix thoroughly.
  3. Transfer the mixture to a parchment-lined loaf pan, spreading it evenly and pressing down firmly. Freeze for at least 1 hour.
  4. Once hardened, remove from the loaf pan and cut into 12 bars.
  5. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil, heating until melted. Dip each bar into the melted chocolate.
  6. Place the chocolate-coated bars back in the freezer for 10 minutes until chocolate sets.
