Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Cornflakes cereal
- 3 cups Mini marshmallows
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a large pot over low heat, melt the butter, stirring occasionally to prevent it from browning.
Once the butter is fully melted, add the peanut butter and mini marshmallows to the pot. Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
Remove the pot from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Gently fold in the cornflakes, making sure they are evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture. If using chocolate chips, fold them in quickly at this stage before the mixture cools.
Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, drop heaping spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
Let the Cornflake Chewies cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until they are firm enough to handle.
Once set, transfer the chewies into an airtight container to store. They can be kept at room temperature for up to 5 days.
