Chocolate Cornflake Bites (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Main Layer
01 -
170g smooth peanut butter
02 -
60ml of your favorite liquid sweetener, like maple syrup
03 -
80g crispy cereal (cornflakes are good too)
04 -
2 tablespoons melted coconut oil (skip if your peanut butter is runny)
05 -
A tiny dash of salt
→ Chocolate Topping
06 -
1 teaspoon coconut oil, melted
07 -
150g pieces of dark chocolate
# Instructions:
01 -
Heat the peanut butter, sweetener, coconut oil (if using), and a bit of salt in a pot over low. Stir until it turns velvety smooth.
02 -
Once off the stove, gently stir in the cereal. Coat everything evenly but try not to crush the flakes too much.
03 -
Transfer the blend to lined molds or a parchment-lined loaf pan. Press it down firmly so it stays together.
04 -
Place the molds or tin into the freezer. Let the mixture harden for around 2 hours. If you used a pan, lift out the block with the parchment and slice it into pieces.
05 -
Melt the dark chocolate along with the coconut oil. Use a microwave with pauses to stir frequently or a bowl sitting over simmering water to melt gradually.
06 -
Dip each piece into the melted chocolate. Shake off the extra coating and lay them on parchment over a baking sheet.
07 -
Refrigerate the tray for 30 minutes to an hour, so the chocolate layer sets up hard.
08 -
Keep these bites in a freezer-safe container. Let them sit out for a bit (about 20 minutes) before enjoying a softer texture.
# Notes:
01 -
You can store these in the freezer for as long as three months.
02 -
Swap maple syrup with honey, agave, or other sweeteners you like.
03 -
Make it fun by adding vanilla or sprinkle sea salt on the chocolate topping.
