Chocolate Chocolate and More!

Welcome to my baking adventures.

Peanut Butter Corn Flake S’mores Bars

Chocolate and marshmallows add a little extra love to a school lunch classic in these Peanut Butter Corn Flake S’mores Bars.

The past two weeks have been crazy and emotional for me. I packed up my apartment in Phnom Penh and moved home to Texas. I only had an hour at home before Becks and I left to take her to Purdue. It’s a two day drive from Austin so I got to spend a four days with my baby before saying goodbye until Thanksgiving. Gasp.

Driving away from Purdue was emotionally difficult. Even though I sent Becks home from Cambodia in January, we talked nearly every day through Facebook messenger. She’s not nearly so far away and we still talk nearly every day but she’s an adult now. It makes me tear up just thinking that. I’m so proud of the woman she has become.

My home is pretty crazy right now because most of my things are in storage and my 23-year old son took care of my house while I was gone. He and his roommate had different ideas about “organization” than I do so finding things has been a challenge. Fortunately, Becks had a maid service in before I got back so at least it’s not my son’s idea of “clean.”

I’m putting together my first care package for Becks. Obviously, I need to make something that mails well and can be made with ingredients and supplies I could find in my disorganized house. Becks and I both love peanut butter corn flake squares. They were one of my favorite school lunch desserts and they mail well.

I decided to dress them up a bit with chocolate and marshmallows (also Becks’ favorites). This recipe makes a HUGE batch of peanut butter corn flake S’mores bars so you might want to cut the recipe in half if you don’t have a bunch of teenagers ready to gobble it down.

Yield: 32 bars

Peanut Butter Corn Flake S’mores Bars
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Additional Time 5 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 cups sugar (divided)
  • 2 cups honey (divided)
  • 2 cups creamy peanut butter (divided)
  • 12 cups Corn Flakes (divided)
  • 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 3 cups marshmallows

Instructions

  1. Butter the bottom and sides of a large baking dish (9" x 13").
  2. Put 1 cup sugar and 1 cup honey in a large pan (I use a large soup pot). Bring to a boil and remove from heat. Add 1 cup peanut butter and stir until combined. Add 6 cups Corn Flakes and mix thoroughly. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  3. Immediately top with marshmallows and then chocolate chips. Press them down on top of the bottom layer.
  4. Put the remaining sugar and honey in a large pan (I just reuse the one from the bottom layer). Bring to a boil and remove from heat. Add the remaining peanut butter and stir until combined. Add the remaining Corn Flakes and mix thoroughly. While it's still hot, spread on top of the chocolate chip layer and press slightly to seal everything.

Notes

You could cut cooking time by making one batch of the peanut butter corn flake mixture but you would need to work quickly to assemble the bars before the peanut butter layers solidify.

    Oh my word you have had an emotional couple of weeks! Hopefully it calms down a little, then you can start counting down the days until Thanksgiving break!

      Thanks Hillary, Becky has been calling regularly so that helps. I will have to get a care package together soon.
