To a pan add the sugar and the syrup and on low/medium heat allow it to slowly come to a boil. Then, take it of the heat and stir in the peanut butter. If you are using vanilla extract, mix it in.

Pour the peanut butter mixture over the corn flakes and thoroughly but gently mix everything together. Transfer into a large pan and flatten it out to a thickness of about 2 cm, slightly thinner than one inch. Melt the chocolate and coat the top of the slab. Before the chocolate has fully set, cut into bite sized pieces using a bench scraper.

Once everything is cool to the touch and the chocolate is set, transfer the bites into a container, separating the layers with parchment paper. Store the bites in the freezer. Serve the bites while still very cold, but not frozen enough to break any teeth.

Enjoy!
