Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Peanut Butter Filling
  • 1 cup peanut butter creamy, natural preferred
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 3/4 cups cornflake cereal
Chocolate Coating
  • 1 cup chocolate chips dairy-free if needed
  • 1 tsp coconut oil

Method
 

  1. In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine peanut butter and honey. Stir constantly for 2-4 minutes until smooth and warmed through.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and sea salt until well combined.
  3. Pour warm peanut butter mixture over cornflake cereal in a large mixing bowl. Stir and press until cereal is coated and partially crushed.
  4. Shape mixture into 12-14 logs, about 3 inches long. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Freeze for at least 1 hour until firm.
  6. Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
  7. Dip each frozen log into melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Return to parchment-lined sheet.
  8. Freeze for 10 minutes until chocolate sets. Store in refrigerator or freezer.

Notes

Use natural peanut butter without added sugar for best flavor. These can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or frozen for up to 2 months. Let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving for optimal texture.
