Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Corn flakes
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Light corn syrup
- 1 cup Peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and light corn syrup.
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it begins to bubble and the sugar is completely dissolved. This should take about 4-5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the peanut butter until smooth and creamy.
Place the corn flakes in a large mixing bowl. Pour the peanut butter mixture over the corn flakes.
Quickly and gently fold the corn flakes into the mixture until they are evenly coated.
Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a sheet of wax paper or parchment paper to form individual candies. Work quickly as the mixture will start to set as it cools.
Allow the candies to set and cool completely at room temperature, about 15-20 minutes.
Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
