We make these regularly around our house. They are pretty sweet so they go in the kids lunches as their treat. I used gluten free organic honeyed corn flakes and sometime sub agave syrup or honey for the corn syrup. Easy, fast, and more protein than a rice crispy treat.

This recipe has been around for at least 40 years. My Mom made these for our lunches when I was a teenager and I made them for my kids. YES reduce cereal to 8 cups and you can use any combo of dry plain cereal. I have subbed with "O's" Rice Crispies etc. as part of the mix for the 8 cups. You can also use honey as a switch from corn syrup. Enjoyed this variation a .

Mmmmm.... so good! These are just like the ones my mom made for me as a kid! I only used seven cups of cornflakes and they turned out perfectly! I can't wait to make them again!

So yummy! I followed the recipe as written, not having read the reviews before I made it. I thought it was delicious with the full amount of cornflakes, but I guess I'll have to try them again with less to compare. They taste great, but I want to try forming them into balls next time to see if they look a little more appetizing.

These are so awesome and just what I was looking for. They are like a scotcheroo with cornflakes instead of rice krispies. I followed other peoples advice and only used 7-8 cups of cornflakes. I think they would be great plain but I did melt 1 cup peanut butter chips and 1 cup chocolate chips and spread on top.

My family loves this recipe. My husband is an avid peanut butter lover, so I always add at LEAST a 1/2 cup more peanut butter than the recipe calls for. I personally prefer crunchy pb in this, but hubby doesn't like the texture of the peanuts so I almost always do this recipe with smooth pb. I doubled the recipe (only did 16 cups of cornflakes, breaking them down with my hands while they were in the bowl), and substituted half of the corn syrup with honey (1 cup corn syrup, 1 cup honey). I cut down on the sugar, only adding 1 1/2 cups instead of a full 2 cups because of the sweetness of the honey. Did about 3 cups of pb this time around. SUPERB! I've made this a few times, and this was by far the best I've ever done it.

This candy was served as a dessert when I was in elementary school. The one I have is a little different. It's 1 cup of light corn syrup, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 5 cups of finely crushed cornflakes and 3/4 cup of peanut butter. You bring the syrup and sugar to a boil for exactly 1 minute, remove from heat, stir in the peanut butter then the cereal. Spread into a greased 8X8 inch pan. Candy should be chewy, slightly firmer than caramel and not hard. It's delicious!
