Ingredients for Baby Ruth Copycat Bars

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • White Corn Syrup
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 cup roasted peanuts, coarsely chopped
  • Corn Flakes Cereal
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • Chocolate Chips

How to Make Baby Ruth Copycat Bars

  1. Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to lift out the finished bars.
  2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter, light corn syrup, and brown sugar. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until completely melted and smooth.
  3. Stir in the chopped peanuts and crushed cornflakes until evenly distributed.
  4. Press the peanut butter mixture firmly into the prepared baking pan.
  5. In a separate microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter, chocolate chips, and 1/2 tablespoon of light corn syrup. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth.
  6. Pour the melted chocolate mixture evenly over the peanut butter layer.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely set.
  8. Lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang, and cut into squares.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
