How to Make Baby Ruth Copycat Bars
- Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to lift out the finished bars.
- 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.
- Stir in the chopped peanuts and crushed cornflakes until evenly distributed.
- Press the peanut butter mixture firmly into the prepared baking pan.
- 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.
- Pour the melted chocolate mixture evenly over the peanut butter layer.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely set.
- Lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang, and cut into squares.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
