These Chocodiles are the ultimate no-bake style treat that requires just a little oven time. The base is a rich, chewy cookie dough made with butter, shortening, and crunchy peanut butter, baked until lightly golden. Once cooled, it’s topped with a luscious layer of melted semi-sweet chocolate mixed with more peanut butter and crushed corn flakes. The result is a delightful contrast of textures: soft, fudgy interior meets a snap-crackle-pop topping. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or simply satisfying a sweet tooth with a homemade twist on classic candy bars.
