Chocolate cravings are the worst! In my case, it seems to be an every day occurrence. I'm usually good at calming these chocolate cravings with a small piece of dark chocolate, or a couple chocolate chips, but today I needed more.
I wanted to make something sweet and salty that I didn't have to bake. I had cornflakes in my pantry from a recent chicken recipe so I decided to use them and make up a concoction. As you all know, I LOVE peanut butter so I decided to throw that into the mix as well.
The result: Amazing sweet and salty crunchy bites. Utter perfection.
These are so simple to make and relatively guilt-free if you only have one or two. (I had to hide the rest from myself in a container in the fridge.)
My recommendation in making these is to use good quality chocolate chips and all natural peanut butter. I used Ghiradelli 60% cacao chips and Teddie all-natural salted peanut butter.
My superfood of the week is CHOCOLATE, what else?! Here are the health benefits of chocolate from a previous recipe to make you feel better about indulging in these clusters.
Ingredients:
-2 cups cornflakes- crushed
-1 cup chocolate chips- melted
-2 tbsp. all natural peanut butter
-1 tbsp. coconut oil
-sea salt for sprinkling
Directions
1) Crush corn flakes in a zip top bag and pour into a mixing bowl
2) Melt chocolate chips in microwave and mix with cornflakes
3) Melt coconut oil in microwave and stir in peanut butter. Pour into corn flake mixture and stir all ingredients to combine
4) Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil sprayed with non-stick cooking spray
5) Drop spoonfuls of mixture onto the baking sheet. (Should make 12 clusters)
6) Top each cluster with a sprinkle of sea salt
