Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup honey

Instructions

  • Microwave the mixture on high for 2 minutes, then remove and stir until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth and combined.
  • Gently fold the cornflakes into the chocolate-peanut butter mixture until evenly coated, taking care not to crush the cereal.
  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan, press and smooth it evenly into the pan with a spatula.

  • Store the sliced bars chilled.
