Old Fashioned Cornflake Candy

©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish

1 cup of granulated sugar

1 cup of light corn syrup
1 heaping cup of creamy peanut butter
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, optional
4 to 6 cups of plain cornflakes

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.

Cook's Notes: I used 5 cups of a generic brand of cornflakes. Can also substitute honey for part
of the corn syrup. Some suggested add-ins are coconut, peanuts, butterscotch or chocolate
chips and raisins. Add those in with the cornflakes. If making bars, carefully spread hot mixture
in the buttered pan, then sprinkle chocolate chips on top, leave sit only long enough to soften, or
place into a warm oven to melt the chocolate, then spread into a thin layer over the top of the
cornflake mixture.

Tip: Spray two spoons with non-stick spray and use one to scoop and one to push off.
