Categories     dessert

Time 30m

Yield about 18 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups cornflake cereal
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Pinch of kosher salt
Nonpareils, for decorating

Steps:

  • Put the cereal in a large bowl. Combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, heavy cream and butter in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and whisk until smooth. Continue cooking, whisking occasionally, until the mixture thickens and starts to pull away from the sides of the pan, 5 to 6 minutes (it should register 230 degrees F on a candy thermometer). Remove from the heat and whisk in the vanilla, nutmeg and salt.
  • Immediately pour the caramel over the cereal and stir with a rubber spatula until evenly coated. Scoop heaping tablespoonfuls of the cereal mixture onto an ungreased baking sheet. Let cool slightly, then use your fingers to gently form each into a mound or pyramid shape; sprinkle with nonpareils. Let cool completely.

Tips for Making Cornflake Haystacks

  • Use fresh cornflakes for the best texture and flavor.
  • Do not overcook the corn syrup mixture, or it will become too hard.
  • Stir in the cornflakes and peanuts quickly so they don't get soggy.
  • Shape the haystacks immediately after mixing, or the mixture will become too stiff to work with.
  • Place the haystacks on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet so they don't stick.
  • Let the haystacks cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.
