Ingredients
Scale
For the Cornflake Candy:
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 6 cups cornflakes cereal
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Candy Mixture: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the corn syrup and sugar. Stir constantly until the mixture just begins to boil. Remove from heat.
- Blend in Peanut Butter and Flavors: Stir in the peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt (if using) until smooth.
- Coat with Cornflakes: Quickly fold in the cornflakes, gently stirring to coat evenly without crushing them.
- Form the Candies: Drop heaping tablespoons of the mixture onto the baking sheet. Let cool at room temperature until firm, about 30–45 minutes.
Notes
- Work quickly when mixing and scooping as the candy sets fast.
- For added texture, consider stirring in mini marshmallows, chopped nuts, or drizzling with melted chocolate.
