1. Crush the Corn Flakes: Place cornflakes in a plastic bag and crush them with a glass jar or rolling pin until they are in small pieces.
2. Heat the Peanut Butter Mixture: In a pan over low-medium heat, combine peanut butter, maple syrup, and molasses (if using). Stir until smooth, being careful not to overheat and scorch the peanut butter. Remove from heat and mix in the crushed corn flakes.
3. Shape the Bites: Spoon the mixture into a silicone ice cube tray, filling each cavity halfway. Freeze for about 2 hours until solid. If you don’t have a silicone tray, spread the mixture on a parchment-lined baking sheet, freeze, and then cut into small squares.
4. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil. Melt in the microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring each time until smooth (about 1-2 minutes total).
5. Coat the Bites: Remove the frozen bites from the tray and dip each one into the melted chocolate. Use a spoon to ensure each piece is fully coated. Let any excess chocolate drip off, then place the coated bites on a parchment-lined platter. If some bites soften, pop them back in the freezer briefly.
6. Freeze Again: Return the bites to the freezer to allow the chocolate coating to set completely. Enjoy!
