Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Crunchy cornflakes
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the creamy peanut butter and honey. Heat over low-medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Do not let it boil.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
In a large mixing bowl, add the cornflakes. Pour the warm peanut butter mixture over the cornflakes and gently fold until the cereal is evenly coated.
If using chocolate chips, allow the mixture to cool slightly to avoid melting the chips completely, then fold them in.
Using a tablespoon or your hands, scoop small portions of the mixture and form them into snack-sized balls. Press firmly to ensure they hold their shape.
Place the formed balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until the snack balls are firm.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Serve and enjoy!
