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.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup white sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 6 cups cornflakes cereal
  • 1 cup dry roasted peanuts
  • 1 (11 ounce) package butterscotch chips

Directions

Step 1
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.

Step 2
Spray a 9×13 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 1×2 inch bars.
