Description
Spooky no‑bake chocolate peanut butter treat for Halloween
Ingredients
- ¾ cup honey
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1¼ cups creamy peanut butter
- 3 cups corn flakes cereal
- 2 cups brown rice krispies
- 8–12 ounces semi‑sweet or dark chocolate, melted
- 6 ounces white chocolate, melted
- candy eyes and black sprinkles, for decorating
Instructions
- Line a 9×13 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the corn flakes, brown rice krispies, and 1 cup peanut butter.
- In a pot, combine the honey and maple syrup. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook 2 minutes, then remove from the heat and pour the mix into the cereal/peanut butter bowl; stir well. Spread the mixture into the prepared pan, packing it in tightly. Place in the fridge for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt together the chocolate and ¼ cup peanut butter. Spread this chocolate mixture over the cereal base.
- Melt the white chocolate, then spoon dollops (1 tsp for small ghosts, 1 Tbsp for large ghosts) of white chocolate on top. Using a skewer or the end of a spoon, drag the white chocolate to form ghost shapes.
- Insert mini candy eyes. Return to the fridge to set (about 15 minutes), then cut into irregular “ghost” shapes. Keep chilled until serving.
Notes
- Use a natural, no‑sugar‑added peanut butter (just peanuts + salt) for best texture and flavor.
- The more “imperfect” the ghost shapes, the spookier they look.
- These bars keep in the fridge for 3–4 days. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
