Ingredients
- 1 cup Medjool Dates pitted and chopped
- a pinch Kosher Salt
- 1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter

Instructions
Instructions
- Start by placing the chopped Medjool dates in a mixing bowl. If they are too firm, you can microwave them for about 10-15 seconds to soften slightly.
- To the bowl of dates, add the creamy peanut butter, a pinch of kosher salt, almond milk (or the milk of your choice), and vanilla extract. Mix everything together until well combined.
- Gently fold in the corn flakes, ensuring they are evenly coated with the peanut butter date mixture. Be careful not to crush the corn flakes.
- Line your 9x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Pour the mixture into the dish and press it down firmly with a spatula to create an even layer.
- In a double boiler or a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate until smooth. If using a microwave, heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between.
- Once the chocolate is melted, drizzle it evenly over the pressed mixture in the baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it out if desired.
- Place the baking dish in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours to allow the bars to set.
- Once set, lift the bars out of the dish using the parchment paper. Cut into squares or rectangles, and they’re ready to enjoy!
