Peanut Butter Crunch Recipe
The Peanut Butter Crunch Recipe is a sweet, chewy and perfectly crispy treat made with peanut butter, sugar and crunchy cereal. It’s quick, simple and tastes like childhood comfort in every bite.
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 5 –6 cups cornflake cereal or rice cereal
Instructions
Prepare the Pan
- Line your baking dish with parchment paper.
- This makes the bars easy to remove later.
Heat the Peanut Butter Mixture
- In a saucepan, add sugar and corn syrup.
- Cook on medium heat until the sugar dissolves.
- Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter and vanilla.
Add the Cereal
- Place cereal in a large bowl.
- Pour the warm peanut butter mixture over it.
- Stir gently until all cereal is coated.
Press Into the Dish
- Spoon the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Press down lightly to form an even layer.
Cool and Cut
- Let the bars cool for 30 minutes.
- Cut into squares and serve.
Notes
- Do not boil the sugar mixture—just heat until dissolved.
- For extra crunch, add chopped peanuts.
- Use rice cereal if you want a lighter texture.
- Add melted chocolate drizzle on top for a sweet twist.
- Press gently—too much pressure can make bars hard.
