Best Old Fashioned Cornflake Candy Recipes

OLD FASHIONED CORNFLAKE CANDY RECIPE - (3.9/5)

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.

• •1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract, optional
• •4 to 6 cups of plain cornflakes

Remove from the heat; blend in the peanut butter and vanilla. Add cornflakes, a cup at a time until mixture thickens. Working quickly, drop by spoonfuls on the prepared baking sheet and set aside to cool. Yield will depend on how large you make the clusters.
