Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4 cups Corn Flakes cereal
  • 1 cup peanuts
  • 1 cup candy corn
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 cup white chocolate melts (or white chocolate chips)

Instructions

  • Grease an 8"x8" baking pan with cooking spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mix together the cereal, peanuts, and candy corn. 
  • In a small saucepan over low to medium heat on the stovetop, melt the peanut butter and corn syrup, constantly stirring to keep it from scorching on the bottom of the pan. 
  • Cook for about 5 to 10 minutes, constantly stirring. The peanut butter and corn syrup will melt together and form more of a syrupy liquid.
  • Remove the peanut butter mixture from the stove, give it a good stir, and pour it over the cereal mixture.
  • Stir everything together really well, making sure all of the cereal, peanuts, and candy corn are coated with the peanut butter syrup.
  • Spread the mixture in the greased dish, and firmly pat it evenly into the pan.
  • Allow the treats to cool. Then slice the bars for serving.
  • Drizzle the top of each bar with melted white chocolate, and add a piece of candy corn for decoration.

Notes

*You can use either white chocolate or regular/dark chocolate for a drizzle. I actually drizzled white chocolate on our no bake cereal bars because I love how it complements the flavors of both the peanuts and the candy corn. It's so delicious!
Can I make these in the microwave?
Yes, you can melt together the peanut butter and corn syrup in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave. Just cook the mixture on High in 15-second increments, stirring after every cooking cycle, 'til everything is melted. The peanut butter and corn syrup will eventually melt together and form a syrupy liquid.
How should I store them?
Store them in an airtight container at room temperature. You can also freeze them if you want to make them ahead; just be sure to place them in an airtight container or bag, so they don't get freezer burn.
