Prep Time20 minutes
Total Time2 hours
Servings: 12 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 cup honey
  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 1/4 cups butterscotch chips
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6 cups corn flakes cereal
  • 4 cups semi-sweet or dark chocolate (use closer to 5 for a THICK layer)
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • Flaky sea salt for the finishing touch on top

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal later.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the honey and creamy peanut butter. Stir until well combined. Add the vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
  • Gently fold in the corn flakes cereal until they are evenly coated with the honey-peanut butter mixture.
  • Transfer the corn flake mixture into the prepared baking pan. Using a spatula, press down firmly to create an even layer.
  • In a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet or dark chocolate and coconut oil. Heat until fully melted and smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, melt the butterscotch chips using the same method as the chocolate. Once melted, remove from heat.
  • Pour the melted chocolate over the pressed corn flake base, spreading it evenly. Drizzle the melted butterscotch over the chocolate layer. Use a toothpick or knife to gently swirl the two together.
  • Sprinkle flaky sea salt over the top of the bars.
  • Place the baking pan in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the bars to set completely. Once set, lift them out using the parchment paper overhang and cut them into squares.
  • Serve your Swirled Chocolate Butterscotch Bars at room temperature or chilled.
