Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a small saucepan, combine pure maple syrup (or your chosen sweetener), regular or blackstrap molasses, and unrefined sugar. Heat over medium, stirring constantly until it reaches a gentle boil, about a minute.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter and salt until smooth and thick.
  3. Fold in bran or corn flakes to ensure each piece is fully coated.
  4. Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper, pour in the mixture, and press down to create an even layer.
  5. Place in the freezer and chill for at least 1 hour, until hardened.
  6. Remove from the freezer, let thaw slightly, then slice into bars.
  7. Optionally, melt chocolate chips or make a cocoa mixture and coat each bar.
  8. Return coated bars to the freezer for at least 30 minutes until chocolate is set.
