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.
CORNFLAKE CANDY
This has been a longtime family favorite. Very easy to make and a great choice for peanut butter lovers. The lighter you press the mixture into the pan, the more tender the candy will be.

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.

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:
- Combine sugar and corn syrup in a dutch oven.
- Bring to a boil.
- Remove from heat.
- Stir in peanut butter.
- Add corn flakes and stir until all are coated with syrup mixture.
- Drop by tablespoon onto waxed paper.
- *you can add 1 tsp of vanilla for a slightly different flavor.
- *or you can spread the mix out into a 13 x 9 dish and cut into squares.
Tips:
- Use fresh cornflakes for the best results. Stale cornflakes will not hold their shape as well and will make the candy more crumbly.
- Be careful not to overcook the sugar mixture. If the sugar is overcooked, it will become hard and brittle and will not be able to be poured over the cornflakes.
- If you want to add flavor to the candy, you can stir in vanilla extract, almond extract, or cinnamon to the sugar mixture before pouring it over the cornflakes.
- You can also add chopped nuts or dried fruit to the candy for extra flavor and texture.
- Let the candy cool completely before breaking it into pieces. If you break the candy while it is still warm, it will be more likely to crumble.
Conclusion:
Old-fashioned cornflake candy is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a sweet and crunchy candy that everyone will love. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy dessert, give this recipe a try.
