No Bake Peanut Butter Bars With Corn Flakes
Ingredients:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups corn flakes
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup butterscotch chips
- 1/4 cup chopped peanuts (optional)
Instructions:
1. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, stir together the peanut butter, honey, and melted butter until smooth.
3. Add the corn flakes to the peanut butter mixture and stir until the corn flakes are completely coated.
4. Press the mixture into the prepared baking pan, using a spatula or your hands to press it evenly into the bottom of the pan.
5. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and butterscotch chips together in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the mixture is smooth and melted.
6. Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the top of the peanut butter mixture, using a spatula to spread it evenly over the top.
7. Sprinkle the chopped peanuts (if using) over the top.
8. Chill the bars in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate has set.
9. Slice into bars and serve.
Tips:
- For a fun twist, try adding other cereal to the mix. Rice Krispies or crushed graham crackers would work well.
- You can substitute other nut butters, like almond or cashew butter, for peanut butter.
- If you don't have butterscotch chips, you can use all chocolate chips instead.
- For a healthier option, you can substitute agave nectar for the honey.
- Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
