Provided by skidivr595

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 package butterscotch chips (11 oz.)
3/4 cup dry-roasted salted peanuts
4 cups corn flakes cereal

Steps:

  • 1. Pour butterscotch chips into a large microwave-safe bowl and heat in the microwave, checking and stirring every 30 seconds, until chips are melted. It took about a minute and a half in my microwave. Be sure not to cook them for too long, or the butterscotch candy will seize up. If you prefer, you can melt the chips in a double boiler, then scrape the melted butterscotch into a large bowl. 2. Add corn flakes and peanuts to the melted butterscotch and stir until everything is thoroughly coated. Line a counter top with waxed paper and drop spoonfuls of the warm corn flake mixture onto the waxed paper. Allow to cool for 15 minutes. Candy may be stored in an airtight container or large zippered plastic bags for two weeks.

1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup peanut butter
6 cups Corn Flakes

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.

Categories     Candies

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 c white sugar
1 c white karo syrup
1 c peanut butter
5 c corn flakes

Steps:

  • 1. Mix sugar and karo syrup in a saucepan.Bring to a boil.Remove from stove and add peanut butter.Stir in Cornflakes.Drop on foil or waxed paper with a spoon or roll into balls.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cornflakes for the best results. Stale cornflakes will not hold their shape as well and will result in a crumbly candy.
  • Be careful not to overcook the sugar mixture. If it gets too hot, it will start to caramelize and turn brown. This will give the candy a burnt flavor.
  • Work quickly when you are adding the cornflakes to the sugar mixture. The mixture will start to set quickly, so you need to work fast to get all of the cornflakes coated.
  • If you are having trouble getting the cornflakes to stick to the sugar mixture, you can add a little bit of butter or oil. This will help to bind the ingredients together.
  • Let the candy cool completely before breaking it into pieces. If you break it too soon, it will be too soft and sticky.

Conclusion:

Cornflake candy is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover cornflakes, and it is also a fun activity to do with kids. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious batch of cornflake candy that everyone will love.
