If you’re looking for a quick, easy, and delicious treat that’s perfect for busy days, these Peanut Butter Cornflake Bars are exactly what you need. With just four simple ingredients, this no-bake recipe comes together in minutes and makes the perfect on-the-go snack or sweet bite for any time of day.
One of the best things about this recipe is that it uses common pantry staples you probably already have on hand — peanut butter, corn syrup (or an easy homemade alternative), sugar, and cornflakes. It’s also a fantastic way to use up that box of cornflakes sitting in the cupboard that no one seems to want to finish. Instead of letting them go to waste, turn them into a chewy, crunchy, and utterly satisfying treat that the whole family will love.
And if you’d rather skip corn syrup, don’t worry — you can make a simple alternative by combining pure cane sugar and water and cooking it down into a syrup with the same consistency. It’s a great option if you prefer more natural ingredients.
