PEANUT BUTTER CORNFLAKE BARS
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

Steps:
- In a medium size saucepan, heat the corn syrup and sugar, on medium heat, until the sugar dissolves. Add peanut butter and stir until smooth. Gradually add corn flakes, 1 cup at a time, while mixing. Remove from heat, then spoon mixture onto wax paper, or aluminum foil, and let cool completely. **The official recipe calls for 6 cups of corn flakes, but you can use anywhere from 4-6 cups depending on how much you'd like to make and how crunchy or "gooey" you'd like your candy {use more cornflakes for more crunch}. For these pictures, we only used 4 cups of corn flakes, so keep that in mind when making yours.

Steps:
- Combine white sugar, brown sugar, and corn syrup in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl and heat until sugars have dissolved, about 1 minute. Stir in peanut butter. Place the cornflakes and peanuts into a large bowl and stir in syrup mixture, mixing well.
- Spray a 9x13 inch pan with cooking spray. Lightly press the corn flake mixture into the pan. Melt the butterscotch chips in the same microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 30 second intervals, stirring after each melting, for 1 to 3 minutes (depending on your microwave). Do not overheat or butterscotch will scorch. Spread over the cornflake mixture. Allow candy to cool, then cut into 1x2 inch bars.

Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh cornflakes that are not stale or crushed.
- If you don't have a microwave, you can melt the butter and sugar in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly.
- Be careful not to overcook the cornflake mixture in the microwave, as it can burn easily.
- Let the cornflake mixture cool completely before cutting it into squares, otherwise it will be too soft and crumbly.
- Store the cornflake candy squares in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Cornflake candy squares are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover cornflakes. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a batch of cornflake candy squares that everyone will love.
