Peanut Butter Cornflake Bars image

Peanut butter cornflake bars were one of my favorite treats when I was a little girl. If you like chocolate, I have a friend who spreads 1 cup of melted chocolate chips over the top. Let the chocolate set before cutting into the bars. -Laura Campbell, Lisbon, Maine

BUTTERSCOTCH CORNFLAKE CANDY RECIPE



Butterscotch Cornflake Candy Recipe image

Provided by skidivr595

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 package butterscotch chips (11 oz.)
3/4 cup dry-roasted salted peanuts
4 cups corn flakes cereal

Steps:

  • 1. Pour butterscotch chips into a large microwave-safe bowl and heat in the microwave, checking and stirring every 30 seconds, until chips are melted. It took about a minute and a half in my microwave. Be sure not to cook them for too long, or the butterscotch candy will seize up. If you prefer, you can melt the chips in a double boiler, then scrape the melted butterscotch into a large bowl. 2. Add corn flakes and peanuts to the melted butterscotch and stir until everything is thoroughly coated. Line a counter top with waxed paper and drop spoonfuls of the warm corn flake mixture onto the waxed paper. Allow to cool for 15 minutes. Candy may be stored in an airtight container or large zippered plastic bags for two weeks.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cornflakes for the best texture and flavor.
  • Be careful not to overcook the sugar mixture, or it will become too hard.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can use the cold water test to check if the sugar mixture is ready. Drop a small amount of the mixture into a bowl of cold water. If it forms a hard ball, it is ready.
  • Butter the pan before pouring in the sugar mixture to prevent sticking.
  • Work quickly when stirring in the cornflakes, as the mixture will start to set quickly.
  • Pour the mixture into a buttered 9x13 inch pan and let it cool for at least 30 minutes before cutting into bars.

Conclusion:

Butterscotch cornflake candy is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and buttery flavor, it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give butterscotch cornflake candy a try. You won't be disappointed!
