    Chocolate Peanut Butter Cornflake Slice

    Ready for a slice of chocolate peanut butter cornflake slice? As you can see, my healthy eating post-holiday is going well! It was definitely time for a treat.

    No baking needed, just some time to chill the layers, and you can help yourself to a slice of this.

    You don’t need any fancy equipment, just a tray of some kind to make it in (I used a loaf tin) and bowls for melting and stirring.

    A yummy treat for the kids before they go back to school perhaps? Or for yourself if you are anything like me. It isn’t difficult, it is just full of chocolate peanut butter goodness.

    Start with a layer of cornflakes and chocolate as if you were making chocolate cornflake cakes. Let it chill in the fridge.

    Top with a layer of peanut butter – sweetened up a little of course! Allow to set again, then top with melted dark chocolate.

    And there you have it, a whole lot of yumminess you need to slice up straight away and share out.

    Baking is fun but no-bakes are great for when you want something simple. it is rich and indulgent but just so easy and straightforward.

    Bite through the top layer of chocolate to the creamy peanut butter beneath, and then reach the chewy cornflake layer at the bottom. A load of textures and a load of calories, clearly!

    I just love the rich colour of the peanut butter. That creamy layer just makes this cornflake slice a bit more exciting!

    Keep it in the fridge if it is warm weather to keep it at its best. See if you can stop at one slice. I find that a bit of a challenge.

    I’m just going to try and stop myself eating another slice, wish me luck.

      I found the chocolate and golden syrup clumped before coating the cornflakes, (wasted 2 bars of chocolate doing this) I added 50g of butter and no more issues.

        Yes you need to make sure they are the same temperature otherwise seizing can occur like that. A good fix for seizing is a little milk and stirring until it goes glossy again.

        its an ingredient used in the UK, sugar based. If you let me know where you are based I would be happy to look up an alternative for you!

        Not sure which ingredient you wanted to replace with honey? if it is the golden syrup then I’d say honey wouldn’t have the same effect which is to help the finished slice harden, and is also not as sweet. Corn syrup is the USA option, though that also has a different flavour (much milder) and texture.

          Maple syrup. Of course! Healthier version.

      Love the recipe – although I forgot the icing sugar. Does this matter?

        No the peanut butter just won’t be sweetened but there isn’t much icing sugar anyway so it won’t be too different. Hope you enjoy it!

          Could you use maple syrup in place of golden syrup?

            Ooh I don’t know Jenny if that would work. Golden syrup helps the chocolate to harden and I’m not sure if maple would do the same.

      Oh my, these look amazing Lucy. Chocolate and peanut butter are a match made in heaven and chocolate cornflake cakes are one of my favourites. What a fantastic combination.
