Mom always had ingredients for this snack on hand, especially during leaner times! It’s a cheap fix for any sweet tooth not watching their waistlines! I post this here, not simply for posterity’s sake, but because not doing so would be criminal! It’s a family favorite.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup light Karo syrup
- 1 cup peanut butter (chunky or creamy … your choice!)
- 5 cups of corn flakes
INSTRUCTIONS
Bring sugar and Karo syrup to a boil in a large sauce pot. Once boiling, add peanut butter. Bring back to a boil and then cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat and add corn flakes, stirring until coated. Quickly spread mixture onto a counter lined with parchment paper. Cool. Break into pieces before storing.
NOTES
The time on the stove before adding the peanut butter is going to be what determines the texture of the candy. A crispier texture is achieved by adding extra time to the boil before adding in peanut butter. My family always prefers it on the chewier side, so the peanut butter is added ASAP upon boiling and timed to one minute on heat exactly once the peanut butter is added.
