Crunchy No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars
Description
Crunchy No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars bring together the richness of melted chocolate and peanut butter with the crisp texture of cornflakes. The bars use honey for sweetness and unsalted butter for a smooth consistency. Melting these ingredients together and then folding in the cereal ensures each bar has both chewy and crunchy elements. Chilling them in an 8x8 pan allows the bars to firm up enough for slicing into squares that hold their shape well.
These bars can be served straight from the refrigerator as a satisfying, sweet snack or a casual dessert. The no-bake method makes them a good choice when heating the oven is inconvenient or during warmer weather. The peanut butter and chocolate combination provides familiar flavors that are enjoyable across many ages.
For variation, crisp rice cereal can be used instead of cornflakes. When storing, keep the bars refrigerated in an airtight container to maintain their texture and freshness for up to two weeks.
Ingredients
- 1½ cups chocolate chips semi-sweet
- 1 cup peanut butter creamy
- ½ cup honey
- ¼ cup butter unsalted
- 3 cups cornflakes
Instructions
- Place the chocolate chips, peanut butter, honey and butter in a large glass mixing bowl.
- Microwave for 2 minutes at full power.
- Remove from the microwave and stir until the chocolate has completely melted and everything is well combined.
- Gently stir in the cornflakes. Mix until well combined.
- Pour the mixture into an 8x8 square baking pan. Smooth the mixture across the pan and refrigerate until firm, at least 2-4 hours.
- Slice with a sharp knife and store chilled in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- You may substitute crisp rice cereal in place of cornflakes if desired.
- Keep the bars refrigerated to preserve their freshness and texture for up to two weeks.
