Method
 

Directions
  1. Prepare Pan: Grease an 8" square pan with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
  2. Heat Mixture: Combine peanut butter, corn syrup, and sugar in a saucepan over medium-low heat until gooey, about 4-5 minutes.
  3. Combine Cornflakes: Remove from heat and fold in the cornflakes, ensuring each flake is well-coated.
  4. Press Mixture: Transfer to the prepared pan and press down firmly to create a stable base.
  5. Melt Topping: Combine chocolate chips and peanut butter in a bowl, microwave in 30-second intervals until melted.
  6. Spread Topping: Pour melted chocolate over the pressed base and spread evenly.
  7. Chill to Set: Let set at room temperature for 30 minutes or refrigerate until chocolate hardens.
  8. Slice and Serve: Cut into squares and serve the delicious treats.
