Equipment
- Medium Saucepan
- Ice Cream Scoop optional
- Baking pan
- Parchment or wax paper
Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- pinch salt
- 6 cups cornflake cereal
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, wax paper, or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
- Add sugar and corn syrup to a saucepan and heat over medium until the sugar has fully dissolved into the corn syrup and the mixture starts to boil.
- Once it boils and the sugar has dissolved, remove from heat and immediately stir in the peanut butter, vanilla, and salt. In a large bowl, pour the hot sugar peanut butter mixture over the cornflakes. Gently mix until fully covered, trying not to break the cornflakes down too much.
- Working quickly, spoon or drop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Let cool about 20 minutes. They will firm up as they cool.
- Once cool, enjoy!
Notes
- An ice cream scoop sprayed with non-stick cooking spray is a great way to get even size cornflake candy balls onto your prepared baking sheet.
- You can make these into peanut butter cornflake bars rather than cookies or balls, by pressing the entire batch of mixture into a 8x8 inch or 9x9 inch greased pan. Let cool and slice to serve.
- For a more gooey cookie use only use 5 cups of cornflakes.
- This recipe can easily be doubled or halved or for small batches or an extra large batch.
