Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Peanut Butter Mixture
- 1 cup Chocolate Chips (Semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
- 1/2 cup Peanut Butter (Smooth or chunky)
Cereal and Crunch
- 3 cups Corn Flakes (Any similar cereal can be substituted)
- 1/2 cup Chopped Peanuts (Optional for extra crunch)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chocolate and Peanut Butter Blend: Combine the chocolate chips and peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 1 minute, then let sit for an additional minute before stirring until smooth. If lumps remain, microwave for an additional 30 seconds, stirring again to achieve a creamy consistency.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, gently combine the corn flakes and chopped peanuts, ensuring the nuts are evenly distributed throughout the cereal.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture over the corn flakes and peanuts. Stir gently but thoroughly, making sure each corn flake is coated with the chocolate mixture to form clusters.
- Form Clusters: Using a spoon, scoop small portions of the mixture onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Shape these portions into bite-sized clusters.
- Chill the Clusters: Place the cookie sheet in the refrigerator and chill for about 30 minutes, or until the clusters have firmed up and set properly.
- Serve and Store: Enjoy the peanut butter chocolate corn flakes clusters fresh, or store them in an airtight container to maintain freshness for later snacking.
Notes
- For a crunchier texture, add chopped peanuts as shown or substitute with other nuts like almonds or walnuts.
- Feel free to use either semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips according to your taste preference.
- If you prefer a vegan version, use dairy-free chocolate chips and peanut butter without added dairy ingredients.
- These clusters can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
- Do not over-microwave the chocolate and peanut butter mixture to avoid burning the chocolate.
