How long do peanut butter cornflake cookies last?

When kept in the fridge in a sealed container, these no-bake cornflake cookies will stay fresh for up to 1 week.

Can I freeze cornflake cookies?

Yes! Store leftovers in the freezer for up to 4 weeks! Then, when you’re ready to serve, just let them thaw in the fridge overnight.

Why are my cookies hard?

The most common reason cornflake cookies turn out too hard is that the chocolate mixture was cooked too long. Be sure to remove it from the heat as soon as it begins to boil!

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the dark chocolate, nut butter, and honey, stirring to combine.
Heat the mixture until it comes to a boil. Remove the saucepan from the heat, and stir in the vanilla.
Working quickly, use a silicone spatula to gently stir in the remaining ingredients (cornflakes, shredded coconut, and optional chopped nuts) until they are well-coated with the chocolate mixture.
Using a large spoon or ice cream scoop, shape the batter into clusters, and place them on the baking sheet. Tip – be sure to use a smaller baking sheet so you can fit in the fridge or freezer later!
Sprinkle the cookies with extra coconut and sea salt flakes, if desired.
Place the cookies in the fridge to cool for 15-20 minutes before removing them from the baking sheet.
Best stored in the fridge for up to 1 week or freezer for up to 4 weeks.

Notes

Cereal Substitute: For a grain-free option, use any other flake cereal of choice! I like this coconut cereal.

Shape the cookies as quickly as possible! Once it begins to cool, the batter will harden and be difficult to work with.
