Scale
Peanut Butter

Chocolate Chips
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Corn Flakes
- 3 cups corn flakes
Honey or Maple Syrup
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients and pre-measuring them for a smooth cooking process. This will save you time and help you focus on mixing everything together.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and a small amount of peanut butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
- Combine Peanut Butter and Sweetener: In another bowl, mix together the remaining peanut butter and honey or maple syrup until well combined. This creates a sweet and creamy base for your clusters.
- Mix in Corn Flakes: Gently fold the corn flakes into the peanut butter mixture until they are evenly coated with the sticky goodness.
- Add Melted Chocolate: Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the corn flakes and peanut butter. Stir gently to combine, making sure the chocolate coats all the flakes.
- Form Clusters: Using a spoon or your hands, form small clusters on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Make sure to leave some space between each cluster for even cooling.
- Chill to Set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until the clusters are firm and set. This helps them hold their shape when you serve them.
Notes
- Use natural peanut butter for a healthier option without added sugars or oils.
- Don’t overmix to avoid crushing the corn flakes.
- Add a splash of vanilla extract to enhance the overall flavor.
- Be careful not to overheat the chocolate while melting, as it can seize up.
- A cookie scoop makes it easier to form uniform clusters.
