Happy Friday y’all!
How is summer treating you? Any summer plans? Going to the beach? Cabin? Or are you working all through summer?
Whatever the case, I feel like Fridays deserve peanut butter and chocolate! I mean, can you think of a better combination?
AND, I feel like summer days deserve no bake treats. What do you say? Are you ready for one of the easiest desserts you will make this summer?
These no bake bars were gone faster than I would like to admit. Hiding them in the back of the fridge didn’t even work! For a couple of days, you could find me right by the open refrigerator door. Stealing bite after bite of these cute little bars.
I used Corn Flakes inside, but you could easily replace it with Rice Krispies, or your own favorite cereal. My suggestion would be to make sure it’s not an overly sugary cereal: these bars are sweet enough as is.
Hope your weekends are as chocolate coated and peanut butter slathered as mine will be!
These no bake chocolate, peanut butter and corn flakes bars are a great way to use up your corn flake crumbs. This recipe is so quick and easy to make.
- 1 cup crunchy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup corn syrup
- 3 cups Corn Flakes cereal, crushed
- 6 oz chocolate chips
- 1 Tbsp salted butter
-
Line an 8×8 baking pan with aluminium foil or parchment paper. Set aside.
-
In a medium saucepan, heat the peanut butter, butter, sugar and corn syrup on low heat until melted. Stir in the Corn Flakes.
-
Press the Corn Flake mixture into the prepared baking pan. Allow to cool.
-
Place the chocolate chips and the butter in a microwave safe bowl, and heat in 30 second intervals, stirring in between until melted. Spread over the Corn Flake mixture, and allow to cool. When cool, cut into squares.
Such an amazing dessert. So clever!
Corn flakes were my favorite cereal growing up. How neat to see a bar using them instead of rice krispies. These look scrumptious. Can't beat that chocolate – peanut butter combo!
Yes, it's absolutely the taste of madness. I'm a big fan of peanuts and peanut butter is my favourite spread ever! Having a couple of apples topped with it is my favourite snack EVER! Gotta make your chocolate piece of heaven soon!
What delicious little bars those look like! love that they are no-bake, perfect for the summer 🙂
These are so fun! Love the texture of the corn flakes 🙂
I love no bake treats in the summer and these look absolutely delicious!
Yum! These look so good, and so neat! 😀
No bakes are a great idea for the summer. Your bars look very chocolatey and very unusual with the cornflake addition!
I adore nobake treats…fast, easy and delicious. Love the add of cornflakes here.
I'm with you … these yummy no bake chocolate + peanut butter + cornflake bars are very addictive 😀
I would hide these too! Looks so easy to make!
I had a very busy weekend.. No doubt I deserve these bars 😀
No bake treats are essential during the summer!
The chocolate and peanut butter is enough to make me want to dive into these. But then you put corn flakes in there! And I died a little bit. In a good way. A very good way.
Hi Cathleen, love everything about these bars, peanut butter and chocolate is a match made in heaven.
Peanut butter and chocolate is EVERYTHING. I make something like this but with Rice Krispies – I am definitely going to try Corn Flakes this time!
