Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Begin by preparing a rectangular baking pan. Lightly grease the pan to prevent sticking.
- Spread the corn chips evenly across the bottom of the pan, creating a uniform layer.
Cooking
- In a saucepan placed over medium heat, combine the corn syrup and granulated sugar.
- Stir the mixture continuously as it heats until it begins to bubble.
- Once the mixture reaches a gentle boil, remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Immediately whisk in the peanut butter until it melts completely and the mixture becomes smooth and glossy.
- Pour the hot peanut butter mixture evenly over the corn chips in the baking pan.
- Use a spatula if needed to gently spread the coating so it reaches all areas of the chips.
Cooling and Serving
- Allow the pan to sit at room temperature until the mixture cools and hardens into a chewy coating.
- Once fully set, cut the dessert into bars or break it into pieces before serving.
Notes
For the best results, stir the sugar and corn syrup mixture constantly while heating to prevent burning. You can customize these bars by drizzling melted chocolate over the top or adding chopped peanuts for extra crunch. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to four days.
