Ingredients
Scale
- 5 cups cornflakes (the crunchier, the better!)
- 1 cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy, your choice!)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (because everything is better with a splash of vanilla, right?)
Instructions
- Prep Your Space: First things first, grab a large mixing bowl and a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (for easy cleanup, because we all love that!).
- Cook the Sweet Sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and light corn syrup over medium heat. Stir continuously until the mixture comes to a gentle boil (about 1-2 minutes should do the trick), then remove it from the heat.
- Peanut Butter Magic: Stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until it’s smooth and creamy. If it looks like something magical from a cooking show, you’re doing great!
- Combine the Crunch: Now, fold in the cornflakes gently. Don’t go all Hulk on them; we want the flakes to stay crunchy!
- Chocolate Coating: Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until it’s delectably melted. You might want to taste test at this stage (research purposes, of course!).
- Mix It Up: Drizzle or fold the melted chocolate into the cornflake mixture, ensuring that everything is evenly coated. If you find yourself nibbling on a few cornflakes here and there, I won’t judge!
- Shape and Chill: Using your hands (you can lightly grease them with cooking spray to prevent sticking), scoop out small mounds and place them on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Don’t worry about making them perfect—rustic is in!
- Let It Set: Allow them to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or pop them in the fridge to speed things along.
