Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Corn flakes cereal
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Light corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Butter (optional, for greasing)
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with butter to prevent sticking. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and light corn syrup. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture begins to bubble and the sugar fully dissolves (about 3-4 minutes).
Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.
Place the corn flakes in a large mixing bowl. Pour the peanut butter mixture over the corn flakes and gently fold with a spatula until all the cereal is evenly coated.
Using two spoons, scoop the mixture into small mounds and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Work quickly before the mixture cools and hardens.
Let the cookies cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes or until they are firm and set.
Once set, transfer the cookies to an airtight container for storage or enjoy them immediately!
