Ingredients
  

For the Bars
  • 1 cup Peanut Butter Almond butter can be used for a nut-free version.
  • 1/3 cup Maple Syrup or Honey Use pure maple syrup for a vegan option.
  • 2 cups Corn Flakes Rice cereal can be used for a gluten-free option.
For the Chocolate Coating
  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips Use dark chocolate for a healthier choice.
  • 2 tablespoons Coconut Oil Any neutral oil can work, but coconut oil solidifies well at room temperature.

  • loaf pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Microwave-safe Bowl
  • Rolling Pin
  • spatula
  • knife

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Step 1: Prepare Corn Flakes. Start by taking your corn flakes and placing them in a zip-top bag. Seal the bag, then use a rolling pin or your hands to crush the corn flakes into small pieces, resembling breadcrumbs.
  2. Step 2: Mix Ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, combine creamy peanut butter and maple syrup or honey. Stir together until smooth and well mixed. Next, add the crushed corn flakes into the peanut butter mixture and fold gently.
  3. Step 3: Form Bars. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang. Transfer your mixture into the pan, spreading it out evenly. Press down firmly and place the pan in the freezer for at least 1 hour to set.
  4. Step 4: Cut Bars. Once the mixture is set, carefully remove it from the loaf pan using the parchment overhang. Slice it into 12 equal bars.
  5. Step 5: Melt Chocolate. In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in 30-second intervals until smooth.
  6. Step 6: Coat Bars. One by one, dip each bar into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated on all sides, then place the bars on a parchment-lined plate.
  7. Step 7: Set Coating. Return the bars to the freezer for an additional 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden completely.
