Peanut Butter Crank Recipe
The Peanut Butter Crank Recipe is sweet, crunchy and perfect for peanut butter lovers. It is easy to make at home and tastes amazing.
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups crushed cornflakes or cereal of choice
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
Melt butter and peanut butter
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt peanut butter and butter together until smooth. Stir to combine evenly without lumps.
Add sugars and vanilla
- Mix granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract into the melted peanut butter. Stir until smooth and fully combined.
Stir in cereal
- Add crushed cornflakes or your choice of cereal. Fold carefully so the cereal stays crunchy and coated with the peanut butter mixture.
Form small clusters
- Spoon small portions of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Shape into bite-sized clusters for easy snacking.
Melt chocolate
- In a microwave or double boiler, melt chocolate chips until smooth. Stir gently to avoid burning or separating chocolate.
Drizzle chocolate over clusters
- Use a spoon to drizzle melted chocolate over each peanut butter cluster. Let chocolate set slightly before serving.
Chill the clusters
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes. This helps the clusters firm up and hold their shape.
Serve and enjoy
- Remove clusters from fridge. Arrange on a plate or store in a container. Enjoy crunchy, sweet, peanut buttery goodness.
Notes
- Use smooth peanut butter for creamy coating
- Lightly crush cereal for better texture
- Drizzle chocolate for extra flavor
- Chill clusters for firm, easy-to-handle treats
- Store in airtight container to maintain crunch
