Yum Yum Cereal Squares Recipes

Steps:

• Line a 15x10x1-inch baking pan with foil, extending the foil over the edges of the pan; set aside.
• BASE LAYER:.
• In a large saucepan, combine granulated sugar and corn syrup; heat and stir just until mixture boils around edges.
• Heat and stir for 1 minute more. Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter until melted.
• Stir in rice cereal and cornflakes until coated.
• Press mixture into the bottom of prepared pan.
• PUDDING LAYER:.
• in a medium saucepan, melt the 3/4 cup butter.
• Stir in powdered sugar, dry vanilla pudding mixes, and milk.
• Spread pudding mixture over cereal layer; set aside.
• FROSTING:.
• In a small saucepan, combine chocolate pieces and the 1/2 cup butter; heat and stir over low heat until melted.
• Spread frosting over pudding layer.
• Cover and chill about 1 hour or until set.
• SERVING:.
• Remove set mixture from pan by lifting foil.
• Place on a cutting board; cut into 64 bars.
• TO STORE: Layer bars between waxed paper in an airtight storage container; cover. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Steps:

• Grease a 9-inch square pan with butter and sprinkle 1/2 cup/17 grams of the cornflakes on the bottom of the pan.
• In a large pot, melt the 6 tablespoons/85 grams butter over medium-low heat. Add the marshmallows and kosher salt, and cook, stirring often, until about half of the marshmallows have melted but the mixture is not completely smooth. Add the peanut butter and mix until just combined, keeping some lumps of marshmallow.
• Take the pan off the heat, and working quickly, add about half the remaining 5½ cups cornflakes, folding them into the marshmallow mixture as gently as possible to avoid crushing the cereal. Repeat with the remaining cornflakes. If the mixture becomes too sticky to work with, briefly return the pot to the heat on low.
• Working quickly, transfer the mixture to the prepared pan, using a wet spoon or spatula to spread and pat into an even layer, again being careful to avoid crushing or packing the cereal.
• Place the chocolate in a small heatproof bowl and microwave it in 15-second intervals, stirring between intervals, until melted and smooth. Drizzle the chocolate over the bars in overlapping lines. (If using chocolate chips, scatter the chips onto the surface of the bars while they are still warm and let sit for 5 minutes, allowing the heat of the cornflakes to melt the chocolate before dragging a fork or toothpick through it to create lines.) Sprinkle the bars lightly with flaky sea salt, and set aside at room temperature (in a cool spot, if possible) until completely set, about 2 hours.
• Cut into bars and serve. Bars will keep, wrapped well at room temperature, for up to 3 days.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F
• For base, lightly butter an 8 inch square baking dish. In a bowl, using a fork, stir flour with sugar. Work in butter until coarse crumbs form. Press over bottom of buttered dish. Bake in centre of oven until light golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove, but leave oven on.
• While base is baking, in a small bowl, using a fork, stir flour with salt and baking powder. In a large bowl, whisk eggs. Using a wooden spoon, stir in sugar and vanilla until evenly mixed. Then stir in walnuts, cherries, coconut and flour mixture. Spread over warm base. Bake in centre of oven until topping is golden and slightly jiggly, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Remove to a rack to cool at least 1 hour before cutting into bars. Bars cut best after refrigerating overnight. Refrigerate up to 1 week or freeze up to 1 month.

Steps:

• Combine oat cereal, corn flake cereal, and peanuts together in a large bowl.
• Mix brown sugar, corn syrup, and butter together in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter and vanilla extract until smooth. Pour peanut butter mixture over cereal mixture; stir to coat. Press coated cereal mixture into a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Refrigerate until set, at least 1 hour. Cut into squares.
