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
- Combine Ingredients: Add the peanut butter, coconut oil (if using), maple syrup, and a pinch of salt to a saucepan. Heat gently over low flame, stirring occasionally until everything has softened and combined into a smooth mixture.
- Mix in Cornflakes: Remove the saucepan from heat and fold in the cornflakes carefully until they are fully coated with the peanut butter mixture.
- Shape the Bites: Divide the mixture into molds of your choice, such as small round molds, or press it into a loaf tin lined with baking paper to form a block.
- Freeze: Place the molds or loaf tin in the freezer for about 2 hours or until completely set.
- Prepare Chocolate Coating: Break the dark chocolate into a heatproof bowl, add the coconut oil, and melt gently either in the microwave in 10-second intervals, stirring in between, or using a double boiler method.
- Coat the Bites: Remove the set bites or loaf from the freezer. If using a loaf tin, slice into bars. Dip each bite or bar into the melted chocolate and place them on a baking sheet lined with baking paper.
- Set Chocolate: Transfer the coated bites to the fridge until the chocolate has completely set.
- Storage: Store the finished cornflake bites in an airtight container in the freezer. Remove 20 minutes before serving to soften slightly.
Notes
- If using runny peanut butter, omit the coconut oil in the peanut butter mixture to avoid excess oiliness.
- You can substitute cornflakes with any crunchy cereal of your preference for different texture variations.
- Ensure the chocolate melts gently to avoid burning and maintain a smooth coating.
- These bites are best served slightly chilled but not too frozen for best texture and flavor.
