Ingredients:
- 6 cups (180g) Cornflake cereal
- 1 cup (250g) Creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup (340g) Honey
- 0.5 cup (100g) Light brown sugar, packed
- 1 tsp (5ml) Pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 tsp (3g) Sea salt
- 1 cup (170g) Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp (15g) Coconut oil
Instructions:
- Line a 9x9 inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides. Place the cornflakes in a large mixing bowl.
- In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey and light brown sugar. Stir constantly until the mixture just begins to bubble at the edges.
- Once bubbles appear, cook for exactly 60 seconds. Remove from heat immediately to prevent the sugar from becoming too hard.
- Whisk in the creamy peanut butter, vanilla extract, and sea salt until the mixture is smooth, glossy, and mahogany-colored.
- Pour the hot peanut butter mixture over the cornflakes. Use a silicone spatula to gently fold the mixture until every flake is thoroughly coated.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and press down gently to even out the surface without crushing the flakes.
- Optional: Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in 30-second intervals in the microwave. Pour over the bars and smooth with a spatula.
- Allow the bars to cool at room temperature or in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before slicing into 16 squares.
