PEANUT BUTTER CHEWIES
These were a favorite of mine in elementary school in Arkansas. They are very easy to make. My three year old son loves them and they bring back memories for me. They are also good to throw in a zip bag for travel.

PEANUT BUTTER CHEWIES (NO BAKE COOKIES) RECIPE - (4.8/5)

Steps:
- Place the cornflakes into a large bowl; set aside. Combine sugar, corn syrup and peanut butter in a large saucepan. Heat until mixture comes to a boil around the edges of the pan, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and pour over cornflakes. Stir gently, until thoroughly coated. Drop cookies, using about 2 tablespoons for each, onto waxed paper. You can use a 2-inch cookie scoop. Let cool. Store in airtight container. Once the cookies have cooled and set, you can either dip the bottom of each cookie in melted chocolate (my favorite way) or you can drizzle it over each cookie.
Tips:
- Use a reliable candy thermometer to measure the temperature of the sugar syrup. This will ensure that the syrup reaches the correct stage for making chewy peanut butter candies.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can use the cold water test to check the consistency of the sugar syrup. Drop a small amount of the syrup into a bowl of cold water. If the syrup forms a soft ball that holds its shape, it is ready.
- Be careful not to overcook the sugar syrup. If the syrup gets too hot, it will become brittle and the candies will be hard.
- Stir the sugar syrup constantly while it is cooking to prevent it from crystallizing.
- Add the peanut butter to the sugar syrup gradually, stirring constantly. This will help prevent the peanut butter from curdling.
- Press the candies firmly into the prepared pan. This will help them to hold their shape.
- Allow the candies to cool completely before cutting and serving.
Conclusion:
Peanut Butter Chewies are a delicious and easy-to-make candy that is perfect for any occasion. They are soft, chewy, and have a rich peanut butter flavor. These candies can be made in advance and stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. Peanut Butter Chewies are also a great gift idea for friends and family.
