For the Mixture
  • 1 cup Peanut Butter Substitute with almond butter for a nut-free option.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by placing the corn flakes into a zip-top bag. Crush them into small pieces with a rolling pin or your hands, aiming for a breadcrumb-like texture.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter with your choice of maple syrup or honey. Stir until smooth, then gradually add the crushed corn flakes.
  3. Line a 9x4-inch loaf pan with parchment paper. Transfer the peanut butter mixture into the pan, pressing down to create an even layer. Freeze for at least 1 hour.
  4. Once firm, remove from the freezer and cut into 12 equal bars.
  5. Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring until smooth.
  6. Dip each bar into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated, then let excess chocolate drip off.
  7. Transfer the dipped bars to a parchment-lined plate and freeze for about 10 minutes until the chocolate sets.
