Ingredients

• 4 cups Cornflakes cereal
• 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
• 1 cup Honey (or light corn syrup)
• 1.5 cups Milk chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal later. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the creamy peanut butter, honey (or light corn syrup), and unsalted butter. Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and well combined, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 3

If using, stir in the salt to the peanut butter mixture for an extra touch of flavor.

Step 4

Place the cornflakes cereal in a large mixing bowl. Pour the warm peanut butter mixture over the cereal and gently fold together using a spatula until the cornflakes are evenly coated and slightly sticky.

Step 5

Pour the coated cornflakes mixture into the prepared baking pan and press it firmly into an even layer using the back of a spoon or spatula. Ensure it is packed well to hold its shape.

Step 6

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the milk chocolate chips in 20-30 second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each round until smooth and fully melted. Be careful not to overheat.

Step 7

Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the packed cornflake layer using a spatula or the back of a spoon.

Step 8

Refrigerate the pan for at least 1 hour, or until the bars are fully set.

Step 9

Once set, lift the entire block out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Place it on a cutting board and cut into 16 bars or squares using a sharp knife.

Step 10

Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
