Peanut butter – any nut/seed butter will work but will slightly change the flavor. Look for a natural, runny nut butter. I love Kirkland Organic Peanut Butter or this one from Whole Foods!
Maple syrup
Corn flakes – I used this gluten-free cereal from Whole Foods and here’s another to try. You can use regular corn flakes or frosted!
Vanilla extract
Peanuts
Chocolate chips – you can use dairy free.
Coconut oil
Sea salt
How To Make
In a large mixing bowl, add peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Mix and set aside.
In a blender or food processor, add the corn flakes and peanuts. Pulse a few times until crushed and in crumbled pieces. You can also place these ingredients in a plastic bag, close it, and hit it with the back of a wooden spoon to crush into tiny pieces. Either works!
Once you’ve gotten small crumbled pieces, add the peanut/corn flake mixture to the peanut butter mixture and stir until you reach a firm, dough-like consistency.
Line a tray with parchment paper. Begin to roll the dough into balls and form into candy bar shapes, rounding the edges. (Tip: use a cookie scoop like this one to make even-sized bars). Place each bar on your plate or tray and repeat until all of the dough is used.
Place the tray in the freezer for about an hour, until the bars are set.
To make the chocolate coating, add the chocolate chips and coconut oil to a small bowl. Microwave in thirty-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully smooth and melted.
Remove the bars from the freezer and carefully dip each into the melted chocolate. (Tip: it helps to use a fork to move the bar so it’s fully covered in chocolate and remove it from the chocolate bowl – it will be hot!)
Once all bars are covered in chocolate, set the tray back in the freezer for at least thirty minutes to an hour to harden. Enjoy!
Recommended Tools
Glass mixing bowls – Perfect for mixing wet and dry ingredients.
Baking tray – My go-to for putting no bake treats in the freezer.
High speed blender – If you don’t have or want a food processor, this works just as well!
Cookie scoop – A less messy way to get even-sized bars.
Silicone spatula – Great for mixing a thick, sticky, dough-like texture like this.
