Cornflake Candy has been around for decades, often passed down through grandmothers’ kitchens as a quick, budget-friendly dessert. With only a few ingredients, you can whip up a batch in under 15 minutes — and the best part is, you don’t even need to turn on the oven!
These golden, crunchy clusters are coated in a sweet, sticky mixture that binds everything together into little bites of pure joy. They’re the kind of treat that disappears fast from the dessert table because no one can eat just one.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 6 cups cornflakes cereal
(Optional toppings: drizzle of melted chocolate, sea salt sprinkle, or festive sprinkles for the holidays.)
