  • Place 1½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1 cup creamy peanut butter, ½ cup honey, and ¼ cup unsalted butter in a large microwave-safe glass mixing bowl.
  • Microwave on high in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth (about 1½–2 minutes total).
  • Stir the melted mixture until fully combined and uniform in texture.
  • Gently fold in 3 cups cornflakes, stirring just until the cornflakes are evenly coated; take care not to crush them.
  • Transfer the mixture into an 8×8-inch square baking pan and spread it evenly, pressing lightly to compact.
  • Refrigerate the pan until the bars are firm, at least 2 hours and up to about 4 hours.
