An old fashioned recipe that heralds back to our childhoods. We are them like cookies but they are really more like a candy . . . as in full of sugar. This is Barry’s mid-week treat!
- Spread wax paper on counter top.
- Combine sugar and corn syrup in a large saucepan and cook, stirring occasionally, over medium to medium-high heat until mixture begins to boil.
- Remove from the heat; blend in the peanut butter and vanilla.
- Add cornflakes, 2 cups at a time until mixture thickens.
- Working quickly, portion with a scoop (mine held about 1 ½ to 2 tablespoons of mixture) or drop by spoonfuls onto the wax paper; let cool. (Tip: spray scoop or spoons with pan release so mixture does not stick.) Can also press out on a buttered 9 x 13 inch baking pan and cut into squares.
- Once dried and fully set, place in small cupcake liners.
