Description
Crunchy no-bake clusters of corn flakes coated in a velvety peanut butter and semi-sweet chocolate mixture, lightly sweetened with honey and finished with a touch of vanilla and salt.
Ingredients
- Corn Flakes Cereal: 4 cups
- Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips: 1 1/2 cups
- Creamy Peanut Butter: 1/2 cup
- Honey: 2 tablespoons
- Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon
- Salt: 1/4 teaspoon
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Place the semi-sweet chocolate chips and creamy peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and combined.
- Stir in the honey, vanilla extract, and salt into the melted chocolate-peanut butter mixture until fully incorporated.
- Gently fold the 4 cups of corn flakes into the chocolate mixture, coating the flakes evenly while keeping them as intact and crunchy as possible.
- Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, portion the mixture into clusters and place them onto the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Optional: drizzle extra melted chocolate over the clusters or sprinkle with flaky sea salt for contrast.
- Chill the clusters in the refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes or until set.
- Once firm, transfer to an airtight container. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- Use high-quality chocolate for a smoother, richer flavor.
- Fold gently to avoid crushing the corn flakes and keep the clusters light and airy.
- If the melted chocolate appears too runny, let it cool a few minutes before folding in the cereal.
- To make nut-free clusters, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter and ensure the chocolate is nut-free.
- Store at room temperature for up to 4 days, in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 2 months.
