Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1 heaping cup creamy peanut butter
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
6 cups plain cornflakes

Steps:

  • Ingredients
  • •1 cup of granulated sugar
  • •1 cup of light corn syrup
  • •1 heaping cup of creamy peanut butter
  • •1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract, optional
  • •4 to 6 cups of plain cornflakes
  • Instructions
  • Butter a couple of baking sheets, or cover with parchment paper; set aside. Combine sugar and corn syrup in a large saucepan and cook, stirring regularly, over medium to medium high heat until mixture begins to boil. Remove from the heat; blend in the peanut butter and vanilla. Add cornflakes, a cup at a time until mixture thickens. Working quickly, drop by spoonfuls on the prepared baking sheet and set aside to cool. Yield will depend on how large you make the clusters. Can also press out on a buttered 9 x 13 inch baking pan and cut into squares. Once dried and fully set, place into cupcake liners or bag individually.
