Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Butter
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Light corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 5 cups Corn flakes cereal
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with butter or non-stick spray and set aside.
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the brown sugar and light corn syrup to the melted butter, stirring until combined.
Bring the mixture to a boil and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring continuously to prevent burning.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Place the corn flakes cereal in a large mixing bowl. Pour the hot toffee mixture over the corn flakes, making sure to coat them evenly by stirring gently with a rubber spatula.
Transfer the coated corn flakes to the prepared baking dish, spreading them out in an even layer and pressing down lightly to compact them.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in 20-second increments, stirring after each round, until smooth and fully melted.
Drizzle or spread the melted chocolate across the top of the corn flakes layer using a spatula or spoon.
Allow the bars to cool completely at room temperature, or refrigerate for 20-30 minutes until the chocolate sets.
Once set, cut the corn flakes toffee mixture into bars or squares using a sharp knife.
Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
