Treats that don’t have to be baked in the oven are the best kind of treats in my opinion. No-Bake treats are perfect to make all year long. If you’ve ever had a Scotcheroo bar these Cornflake bars are pretty similar but use Corn Flakes instead of Rice Krispies cereal. The prep is super easy and can be done in the microwave or on a stovetop!
I combined the sugar and syrup with peanut butter together in a microwave safe bowl and let the microwave cook for 1 min and 30 seconds. The sugars just need to dissolve with the peanut butter. Otherwise, you can follow the stove top instructions in the recipe below.
How to Peanut Butter Corn Flake Bars
Heat peanut butter, sugar and corn syrup over low heat to melt. Stir in cereal.
Pat into a 8×8 lightly greased pan. (I line my pan with foil and then lightly spray it. When it is time to cut them, the foil lifts right out.).
Melt chocolate chips over low heat or in the microwave and spread over top. Cool until firm.
Cut into 12 equal size bars. Serving size: 1 bar.
Ingredients
Cornflakes – Make sure the corn flakes are crushed before stirring them into the sugar and peanut butter mixture. Otherwise they become hard to stir.
Peanut Butter – Use crunchy or smooth peanut butter. I have not tried this with any other nut butters yet or PB2.
Corn Syrup and Sugar – I have not tested this recipe using other sugar substitutes…
Chocolate Chips – Milk Chocolate tastes best for the topping. Melt them in the microwave.
