Delicious no-bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Cornflake Bites combine creamy peanut butter, crunchy cornflakes, and a rich dark chocolate coating for an easy, satisfying treat perfect for snacks or dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 170g smooth peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil (omit if using runny peanut butter)
  • 60ml maple syrup
  • 80g cornflakes or crunchy cereal of choice
  • Pinch of salt

For the Coating

  • 150g dark chocolate
  • 1 tsp coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add the peanut butter, coconut oil (if using), maple syrup, and a pinch of salt to a saucepan. Heat gently over a low flame, stirring occasionally until the mixture has softened and combined into a smooth consistency.
  2. Mix in Cornflakes: Remove the saucepan from heat and fold in the cornflakes carefully, making sure they are evenly coated with the peanut butter mixture without crushing them.
  3. Mold the Mixture: Divide the mixture evenly into your choice of molds (small round molds work well) or press into a loaf tin lined with baking paper to create a compact shape.
  4. Freeze to Set: Place the molds or loaf tin in the freezer for 2 hours or until the mixture is firm and set. Once set, carefully remove from molds or lift the set block from the tin, slicing into bars if necessary.
  5. Melt the Chocolate: Break the dark chocolate into pieces in a heat-proof bowl and add 1 tsp coconut oil. Melt slowly using a microwave in 10-second bursts, stirring frequently to avoid burning, or melt using a double boiler over gently simmering water.
  6. Dip Bites in Chocolate: Dip each set cornflake bite or bar into the melted chocolate until well coated. Place them on a baking sheet or chopping board lined with baking paper to avoid sticking.
  7. Chill the Coating: Transfer the chocolate-coated bites to the fridge and chill until the chocolate has fully set and hardened.
  8. Storage: Store the finished chocolate peanut butter cornflake bites in an airtight container in the freezer. For best texture, remove them about 20 minutes before serving to allow a slight thaw.

Notes

  • If your peanut butter is very runny, you can omit the coconut oil at the start to maintain the right consistency.
  • Maple syrup can be substituted with honey or agave syrup if desired.
  • Use your favorite crunchy cereal if cornflakes are not available or preferred.
  • Ensure the chocolate is melted gently to avoid burning and graininess.
  • Perfect for make-ahead snacks or party treats stored in the freezer.
