Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 cups light corn syrup
- 2.5 cups creamy peanut butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 6 cups crushed cornflakes
- 1 cup chopped unsalted peanuts
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with butter or nonstick spray, and set aside.
Step 2
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the granulated sugar and light corn syrup to the melted butter. Stir continuously until the mixture comes to a gentle boil.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the creamy peanut butter and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.
Step 5
Add the crushed cornflakes and chopped unsalted peanuts to the mixture, folding gently until everything is evenly coated.
Step 6
Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared baking pan using a spatula or your hands (use wax paper to prevent sticking).
Step 7
Melt the semisweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring after each until smooth.
Step 8
Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the base layer in the pan.
Step 9
Allow the bars to cool completely at room temperature, or place the pan in the refrigerator for faster setting.
Step 10
Once the chocolate has hardened, slice the bars into 24 even pieces and serve.
