Ingredients
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Light corn syrup
- 1 cup Peanut butter (creamy)
- 6 cups Corn flakes cereal
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Prepare a baking sheet or countertop by lining it with wax paper or parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Step 2
Combine the sugar and light corn syrup in a medium saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches a boil and the sugar dissolves completely.
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Step 4
Place the corn flakes in a large mixing bowl. Pour the warm peanut butter mixture over the corn flakes, and gently stir with a spatula until all the cereal is evenly coated.
Step 5
Working quickly, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared wax paper or parchment, forming clusters. Use about 2 tablespoons of the mixture per cluster.
Step 6
Allow the corn flake candy to cool completely at room temperature, which will allow it to set and become firm.
Step 7
Once set, store the candy in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Enjoy!
