Ingredients

• 3/4 cup all-natural peanut butter ((192 grams - it needs to be runny/drippy))
• 2 tablespoons honey ((40 grams))
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/3 cup peanut butter powder ((30 grams))
• 1 heaping cup cornflakes ((35 grams))
• salt, to taste
• 1/4 cup chocolate chips ((46 grams))
• 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil
• flaky sea salt ((for topping - optional))

Instructions

1. Line a bread pan with parchment paper.
2. Make your peanut butter mixture. In a medium-sized bowl, add peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Next add the cornflakes, breaking them up with your hands as you add, and the peanut butter powder. Stir to combine. The cereal will break up as you mix it as well. If you still have large pieces of cereal, you can use a spoon to break it up more. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan forming a single layer.
3. Melt chocolate. In a small microwave-safe bowl, add chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 15-20 second increments until melted. Make sure to stir after every time so the chocolate doesn’t burn. You can also use the double boiler method by adding the chocolate and coconut oil to a small glass bowl over a saucepan with simmering water.
4. Top with chocolate. Pour melted chocolate over your peanut butter mixture, spreading it out evenly. I like to pick up the pan and move it around. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired.
5. Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes until the chocolate layer is hardened.
6. Enjoy! Cut into 10 equal-size bars and enjoy. Store in the fridge.
