Ingredients
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup (organic)
  • 1 cup peanut butter (organic)
  • 2 cups corn flakes (slightly crushed, organic, no sugar added - I like the brand Nature's Path)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (organic)
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt (fine)
  • 120 g dark chocolate (organic dark chocolate - I like the brand Hu. Super clean!)
Instructions
  1. 1
    Line a standard sized loaf pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. 2
    Stir together the maple syrup and vanilla in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the peanut butter. Turn heat down to medium/low and allow the peanut butter to soften/met into the maple syrup mixture.
  3. 3
    Turn off the heat. Pour in the cornflakes. Mix until all of the cornflakes pieces are completely coated in the peanut butter mixture.
  4. 4
    Pour into your prepared loaf pan. Press the mixture down very firmly so that you have the least amount of gaps possible. Freeze for an hour, or until firm & set.
  5. 5
    Remove from the freezer. Sit out for 5 minutes to slightly soften (makes it easier to cut). Cut into 8-10 long candy bars. You can also cut these into mini bite-size pieces!
  6. 6
    Melt your chocolate in a long, skinny glass container. Dip each Butterfinger in the melted chocolate and line along a piece of parchment or wax paper. Placed back in the freezer for 10 minutes, or until the chocolate has set. Enjoy!
