Instructions

Crush cornflakes: Place cornflakes in a small lunch-size plastic bag and crush into small pieces.

Heat peanut butter: Add peanut butter, maple syrup and molasses (if using) to a small saucepan over low-medium heat. Heat, while stirring until the mixture is combined. Don't overheat or you'll risk scorching the peanut butter.

Once well combined, remove from heat and stir in crushed corn flakes.

Spoon coated cornflakes into a silicone ice cube tray, filling each cavity about halfway.

Place ice cube tray in the freezer for bites to harden for at least 2 hours.

Melt chocolate: Once bites have hardened, place chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl and melt in the microwave in 15 second increments, stirring between each. It shouldn't take longer than 1-2 minutes total for the chocolate to melt.

Pop bites out of the tray and place on platter lined with parchment. Dip/coat each into the melted chocolate, one at a time. Use a spoon to coat until completely covered. Place chocolate covered candy back on the platter lined with parchment. Repeat until all pieces are coated.
