Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Light corn syrup
- 1 cup Peanut butter (creamy)
- 6 cups Corn flakes cereal
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Prepare a baking sheet or countertop by lining it with wax paper or parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Combine the sugar and light corn syrup in a medium saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches a boil and the sugar dissolves completely.
Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Place the corn flakes in a large mixing bowl. Pour the warm peanut butter mixture over the corn flakes, and gently stir with a spatula until all the cereal is evenly coated.
Working quickly, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared wax paper or parchment, forming clusters. Use about 2 tablespoons of the mixture per cluster.
Allow the corn flake candy to cool completely at room temperature, which will allow it to set and become firm.
Once set, store the candy in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Enjoy!
