Recipe Notes
- Lining the baking pan with parchment paper is awkward until you get the weight of the peanut butter into pan. Don't worry if it's not perfect.
- Serve the bars immediately or at room temperature. Don't let them sit out too long in heat because the chocolate will melt!
Here's how to make it:
- Lightly crush the Corn Flakes. (I placed mine in a zippered bag and used my hands gently.)
- Add the crushed cereal to a medium bowl with the powdered sugar, 1 cup of peanut butter and melted butter. Combine completely.
- Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper. Add the peanut butter mixture on top and spread evenly into pan.
- Put chocolate chips and the 1/4 cup remaining peanut butter into a microwave-safe bowl. Melt on high until smooth, about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Remove and stir.
- Spread the chocolate mixture on top of the peanut butter mixture. Sprinkle to top with the flaky salt.
- Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
- When you want to serve remove from fridge and cut into 16 pieces with a warmed knife. (Run the knife blade under hot water).
