Description
These Chocolate Peanut Butter Haystacks are a no-bake dream come true—crunchy, sweet, and coated in melted chocolate. With only a handful of pantry staples, they come together in minutes and are perfect for parties, snacks, or a quick indulgent bite.
Ingredients
1 ½ cups cornflakes
½ cup creamy peanut butter
⅓ cup honey or light corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons chocolate sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
2. In a small saucepan over low heat (or a microwave-safe bowl), combine the peanut butter, honey, and vanilla. Stir until smooth and melted.
3. Pour cornflakes into a large mixing bowl. Add the warm peanut butter mixture and stir until the flakes are fully coated.
4. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Gently shape into mounds.
5. Melt the chocolate chips in 30-second bursts in the microwave or over a double boiler until smooth.
6. Spoon melted chocolate over each haystack and top with sprinkles if using.
7. Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes until the chocolate sets.
Notes
Make sure to coat all cornflakes evenly for maximum stickiness.
Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
Don’t overheat the chocolate—low and slow ensures a smooth finish.
