12 ounces butter
12 ounces confectioners' sugar

Crust: Line a 9 x 13-inch cake pan with parchment paper. Melt milk
chocolate in a double boiler. Stir peanut butter into melted
chocolate. Place crushed corn flakes in a bowl and stir
chocolate/peanut butter mixture over them, mixing well. Spread
mixture evenly into prepared pan and cool in refrigerator.
Mousse: Melt semisweet chocolate in a double boiler. Cream butter
and sugar in a mixer fitted with a paddle, beating until light and
fluffy. Add sifted cocoa powder and mix well. Scrape down bowl and
add chocolate. Continue mixing and add egg yolks, one at a time,
beating well after each addition. Fold in heavy cream that has been
beaten to firm peak. Mix well to incorporate, leaving no white
streaks in the chocolate. Spread mousse over crust. Chill about 2
hours, until set.
Cut into desired size bars (1 x 4 1/2-inch cuts will yield about 2
dozen bars). with a sharp knife dipped in hot water. Place bars on a
cooling rack that has been placed over a clean baking sheet. If bars
are soft, place rack in freezer until ganache is ready. (Bars may be
completed at this time or coated with ganache.)
Ganache: Melt chocolate in double boiler. Mix sugar and heavy cream
in a small saucepan and bring mixture to a slow boil over low heat
(be careful not to scorch the cream). Pour cream over chocolate and
stir with a whisk to incorporate, making sure all the chocolate is
melted. Strain mixture to remove any pieces of unmelted chocolate.
Let cool for about 1 hour.
Pour ganache over firm bars to coat. Refrigerate for 1 hour to firm
ganache.
