That’s all it takes to make these epic, delightfully delicious, SUPER easy Peanut Butter Cornflake Bars! The crunch…the creaminess…it’ll bring a big smile to your peanut butter-loving face :D 

Normally I’d spend a while telling you all the reasons that you should make these…but my guess is, between the ingredients, the photos, and the title, you’re probably already convinced. In case you need some extra convincing…

Why are these so great?? It’s because they’re:

  • Naturally gluten-free and vegan
  • Come together in less than 10 minutes
  • EASY to make – let the kids do it!
  • Covered in chocolate!!
  • Adaptable to your tastes and preferences
  • Flexible to accomodate allergies

Going off that last point – these are very customisable to make them perfect for your and your family!

Do you or your family avoid peanuts? No problem – just substitute your favorite nut butter in place of the peanuts. You can also use a seed butter to keep them nut-free!

Do you avoid corn? You can trade out the cornflakes for another favorite cereal. Crispy rice cereal works well here, or you could use something like this coconut flake paleo cereal to keep it grain-free/Paleo-friendly.

Not a chocolate person? Skip it! You can absolutely make these without the chocolate topping. Then they’ll be pure peanut butter goodness!

I love serving them cold, straight out of the fridge. They end up with a crunchy, fudgy texture when they’re cold. They’re also wonderful frozen! They can stay at cool room temperature for a little while, but they’ll get gooey quick in warmer weather, so be aware of that.

We love these Peanut Butter Cornflake Bars so much and they never last very long in our house. The first time I made these, they were gone within 24 hours. Between three people. My dad tried one and said “you should be arrested for these.” They’re DANGEROUS to have around for peanut butter chocolate lovers like us, so make sure you have friends around to share with if you don’t want to eat the whole batch yourself ;)

So grab your ingredients, enlist your kids help (if you have them, this is a super fun project to make with them), and get to no-baking!! Enjoy :D

Description

These Easy Peanut Butter Cornflakes Bars are naturally gluten-free, vegan, and absolutely irresistible. They’re quick and simple to make, and can be made using your favorite nut or seed butter if you need a peanut-free or nut-free option. 

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1½ cups (384g) creamy peanut butter or your favorite nut or seed butter
  • ⅓ cup (66g) coconut oil⁣, melted
  • ¼ cup (84g) maple syrup or honey⁣
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, optional
  • ¼ teaspoon salt, if your nut butter is unsalted⁣
  • 2½ cups (78g) corn flakes, crushed⁣, see Notes

For the chocolate topping

  •  4 ounces dark chocolate⁣
  • 2 tablespoons (32g) creamy nut butter⁣, use the same as you used for the filling!

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8” or 9×9” pan with parchment paper. Lightly grease with coconut oil⁣. Set aside.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the peanut butter, coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt if using. Add the crushed corn flakes and stir until combined.⁣
  3. Taste your delicious creation, and add a little more salt or vanilla or sweetener if you feel like it! Then press into the prepared pan in an even layer. Place in the fridge or freezer to firm up, about an hour.
  4. Once firm, combine the chocolate and nut butter in a microwaveable bowl. Microwave for a minute, stir and repeat in 15-second increments until melted. Pour evenly over the bars. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt, if desired, and return to the fridge or freezer to firm up! ⁣
  5. Once firm, cut into 16 squares. Keep stored in the fridge. Enjoy!!

Notes

I recommend seeking out naturally-sweetened cornflakes, from a brand like Barbara’s or Nature’s Path. They are both sweetened with organic fruit juice concentrate.
