Ingredients

For the Bars:
  • 1/3 cup peanut butter (80g)
  • 1/4 cup sugar free maple syrup (60g) pure maple syrup, or extra honey
  • 1/4 cup honey (80g)
  • 1/4 cup vanilla protein powder (30g) optional
  • 2 cups crushed corn flakes (90g) about 3 cups before crushed
For the Chocolate Topping:
  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (120g)
  • 1 tsp coconut oil

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Line an 8x8” dish with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, add the peanut butter, maple syrup and honey. Microwave for 30 seconds and stir until everything is well-combined. Stir in the protein powder if using.
  3. Fold in the corn flakes until they’re all coated then transfer the mixture to the prepared dish. Make sure to press the mixture down well so it stays together after frozen (I used a piece of parchment paper sprayed with nonstick cooking spray to do this).
  4. Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl in 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until melted. Then pour evenly over top and smooth out with a rubber spatula.
  5. Freeze for 30 minutes then slice and enjoy!

Notes

  • Cornflakes: The more you crunch the cornflakes, the more it will help the bars stay together! My favorite way to get really crushed cornflakes is to place cornflakes in a large, gallon ziploc bag. Then place a towel over bag and use a meat mallet, rolling pin or bottom on pan to pound cornflakes until they are your desired crushed consistency. 
  • To Store: Once chocolate has set, slice bars into individual servings then wrap individually in parchment paper, wax paper or aluminum foil. Then store in a freezer-safe zip-top bag.
