PEANUT BUTTER CORNFLAKE BARS
Peanut butter cornflake bars were one of my favorite treats when I was a little girl. If you like chocolate, I have a friend who spreads 1 cup of melted chocolate chips over the top. Let the chocolate set before cutting into the bars. -Laura Campbell, Lisbon, Maine

Steps:
- Line a 9 x 9-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
- Heat the coconut oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat until melted. Add peanut butter, honey, miso paste, vanilla extract, and stir steadily for 2 minutes or until lightly warmed. Remove from heat and stir in the cornflakes until they are evenly coated with the peanut butter sauce. Transfer the cornflake mixture to the prepared pan and use a silicone spatula (or the flat bottom of a glass or a measuring cup) to press the mixture down firmly and evenly until it is very compact.
- Heat the chocolate chips in a double boiler (or in the microwave in 10-second intervals) until completely melted, being careful not to overcook and burn the chocolate. Immediately spread the melted chocolate in an even layer over the cornflake mixture, using a spoon to create pretty swirls if you'd like.
- Refrigerate the bars for 2 to 3 hours or until firm.
- Serve. When you're ready to serve the bars, carefully lift up the parchment and transfer the entire batch to a cutting board. Use a chef's knife to carefully cut the bars into squares. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Tips:
- Use fresh cornflakes for the best texture and flavor.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can use the cold water test to check if the sugar syrup is ready. To do this, drop a small amount of the syrup into a bowl of cold water. If it forms a soft ball, it is ready.
- Be careful not to overcook the sugar syrup, as this will make it too hard.
- If you want a chewier texture, you can add more corn syrup to the sugar mixture.
- For a sweeter treat, you can add more sugar to the mixture.
- You can also add other ingredients to the cornflake squares, such as nuts, seeds, or dried fruit.
- Store the cornflake squares in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
Cornflake squares are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover cornflakes, and they can be customized to your liking. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a batch of cornflake squares that will be enjoyed by people of all ages.
