#3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Bars
Kids and adults alike will love this nutty twist on classic chocolate cornflake cakes. Made with just chocolate, peanut butter, and crunchy cornflakes, these super easy no-bake bites are the perfect sweet treat!
You only need three ingredients to make these easy peanut butter bars:
- 300 g milk chocolate, roughly chopped
- 100 g crunchy peanut butter
- 100 grams of corn flakes
Preparation:
- In a bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water, gently melt the roughly chopped chocolate (making sure the bowl isn’t touching the water). Stir in the peanut butter and allow the mixture to cool, about 5 minutes.

- 115 g cup of walnuts
- 200 g Medjool dates
- 2 tbsp raw cacao
Preparation:
- Place the walnuts in a blender and flour them until finely chopped.
- Add the dates and cocoa and blend again.
- Form balls of the dough with your hands and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

#Quick Chocolate Chip Sandwiches
For these appetizing chocolate chip sandwiches you will need:
- 396 g heavy whipping cream
- 3 tsp vanilla paste
- 4 tablespoons powdered sugar
- Chokolate chip cookies
Preparation:
- Pour the whipping cream into a medium-sized bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat the whipping cream on high speed until stiff peaks form. This will take a little time, so be patient with it. As you mix, you’ll see the whipped cream begin to thicken. You’ll know the cream is ready when you lift the mixer out of the cream mixture and the peaks stand and don’t fall over.
- Once the cream is whipped, add the vanilla paste and powdered sugar. Beat on low speed until fully mixed.
- Place the custard in an airtight container, like mason jars, and refrigerate for two hours. Keep them in the fridge until ready to use.
- To make the sandwiches: Spread cream on the bottom of one cookie and glue a new one on top.
