These scotcharoos (or Special K bars if you're doing a search on the internet) are so easy and since they've got peanut butter in them, I'm gonna call them a protein pick me up for those mid day, gotta get homework done munchies. Of course, they've got a bunch of chocolate too, but you're only young once, right?
These bars are so easy to make and they're worth the effort. I've elevated them with a dark chocolate and sea salt, but you use the chocolate you like!
Ingredients:
1 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup granulate sugar
1/4 cup coconut oil
6 cups corn flakes
1 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
Flaky Sea Salt (optional)
Milk Chocolate Shavings (optional)
Instructions:
1. Line a 9x13 pan with parchment paper
2. Place peanut butter, maple syrup, sugar and oil in pan and heat until sugar is dissolved.
3. Put cornflakes in a large bowl and pour the peanut butter mixture in slowly and mix the whole time util thoroughly coated.
4. Press cornflake/peanut butter mixture into prepared pan and put in refridgerator for 45 minutes.
5. Melt the dark chocolate (microwave or double boiler) and pour over cooled mixture in pan. I like to swirl it and make it pretty. Sprinkle on sea salt if using. Place back in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
6. Add some milk chocolate shavings if using and cut into squares. I like to wrap them in individual wax papers, bag in a ziplock and store in the fridge for 5 days if they last that long! :). Enjoy with a giant glass of milk...at least that's how Ivy and I do it!
