PEANUT BUTTER CORNFLAKE BARS

Peanut Butter Cornflake Bars image

Peanut butter cornflake bars were one of my favorite treats when I was a little girl. If you like chocolate, I have a friend who spreads 1 cup of melted chocolate chips over the top. Let the chocolate set before cutting into the bars. -Laura Campbell, Lisbon, Maine

HOMEMADE CORN FLAKES CEREAL

Homemade Corn Flakes Cereal image

This recipe for corn flakes cereal made from scratch bakes in the oven. It stays crunchy in milk and has a lovely sweet and toasted corn flavor that is almost identical to that of the boxed cereal. The recipe makes a small batch (enough for 2 to 3 small bowls of cereal), but you can easily double or triple it-just be sure to divide the batter into additional baking sheets so that it doesn't come out too thick. This cereal is also great to snack on, to top yogurt or ice cream, or to crush to use as breading.

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

Vegetable or grapeseed oil or nonstick baking spray, for greasing
1 1/2 cups yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and grease lightly with oil or baking spray.
Whisk 1 cup of the cornmeal with the sugar and salt in a medium bowl. Add the vanilla extract and 3/4 cup water, a little at a time, stirring until the batter is smooth and thin. If it's too dry, add additional water. You want something the consistency of pancake batter.
Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet and spread out evenly. (It won't reach the edges, but that's OK. You want a nice thin layer, about 1/4 to 1/3 inch thick.)
Combine the remaining 1/2 cup cornmeal with 1 teaspoon water and mix until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs; add an additional teaspoon or 2 of water, if too dry.
Sprinkle the top of the batter with the cornmeal crumbs (this will help give it a little extra crunchy texture).
Bake on the center rack, keeping a close eye on it, until the dough has dried out and cracked, 10 to 15 minutes. You're looking for a cracked arid-desert landscape look to it.
Remove from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 250 degrees F. Let the baking sheet cool, then use your hands to tear and crack the dough into small flakes. Return to the oven and bake on the center rack until the pieces are toasted, crisp, and golden, about 45 minutes.
Let cool completely before serving with milk or as you would any cereal. Store leftovers in an airtight container in a cool dry place for up to 2 weeks.

Tips:

Use fresh corn flakes. Stale corn flakes will not hold their shape as well when coated in the frosting.
Make sure the frosting is thick enough. If the frosting is too thin, it will not coat the corn flakes evenly and will make the clusters too sticky.
Be careful not to overcook the clusters. Overcooked clusters will be hard and chewy.
Let the clusters cool completely before storing them. This will help them to set and prevent them from sticking together.
Store the clusters in an airtight container at room temperature. They will keep for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Frosted corn flake cereal clusters are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or breakfast treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are also a great way to use up leftover corn flakes. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a tasty and satisfying snack that is sure to please everyone.
