Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Cornflakes
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Peanut butter (creamy)
- 0.25 cup Honey or light corn syrup
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set it aside.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the chocolate chips, peanut butter, honey or light corn syrup, butter, and salt.
Stir the mixture constantly until the chocolate and butter fully melt and the ingredients are well combined, forming a smooth and glossy mixture.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Place the cornflakes in a large mixing bowl.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the cornflakes and gently fold with a spatula until all the cornflakes are evenly coated.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, portion the mixture into small mounds onto the prepared baking sheet.
Let the Cornflake Crunchies set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or place them in the refrigerator for 15 minutes for faster setting.
Once fully set, enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
