  • 1/3 cup Maple Syrup or honey; agave syrup for a vegan option
  • 3 cups Corn Flakes opt for gluten-free cereal if necessary
For the Chocolate Coating
  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips dairy-free chocolate chips work well for strict dietary needs
  • 2 tablespoons Coconut Oil can be omitted if necessary

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • Loaf Pan
  • spatula
  • microwave-safe bowl
  • Rolling Pin
  • knife
  • zip-top bag

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by placing your corn flakes in a zip-top bag and seal it tightly. Crush the flakes into tiny pieces using a rolling pin or your hands.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and maple syrup (or honey). Stir until smooth. Add the crushed corn flakes, folding carefully until coated.
  3. Transfer the mixture into a parchment-lined loaf pan. Spread it into a flat layer and press down firmly. Freeze for at least 1 hour.
  4. Once firm, lift the mixture out of the pan using the parchment paper and cut into 12 equal bars.
  5. Combine your chocolate chips with coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals until melted.
  6. Dip each peanut butter bar into the melted chocolate, allowing it to coat completely. Tap to remove excess chocolate and place on a parchment-lined plate.
  7. Freeze the coated bars for about 10 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
