Thank you for this long lost recipe! I remember having these in the lunchroom in grade school and loving them:) Now I can treat my grandson to a treat from Mimi’s childhood.

My family has been making these since my mother was a little girl and we love them. The first time I made them for my husband, he was suspicious of cornflakes and peanut butter together, but after one bite he changed his tune. Now he could eat an entire pan if I let him. The only difference between yours and ours is that we call it “cornflake candy.” Yummy!

Do you know what Honey Joys are? They’re another great snack to make out of Cornflakes, and so easy.

Okay. This is some serious comfort food that I am sure will be in our tummies before the weekend is out.
I can expect a knock on the door anytime from Jenny Craig trying to do an intervention!!!LOL
I wonder if I can put gravy on her food?!!! Ha!
Aside from my babbling, that loooks really great and great tasting and fun to cook all rolled into one.
Thanks again for another classic!

I started to share a similar recipe with Christy the other day when we talked about the haystacks. I do a version of the peanut butter bars but mine are called “no bake crunchies”. They’re so easy and SO good. First you “squiush” up about six cups of corn flakes. I just pour a BIG mixing bowl full of corn flakes and squish them up until they’re all broken up. You’ll have half as many corn flakes as you started with. You don’t want crumbs but you don’t want big corn flakes either.(I’ve never measured the exact amount of corn flakes) My boys used to love to squish the corn flakes up for me. Next you melt one bag of butterscotch morsels with one bag of peanut butter morsels and 1/2 cup extra crunchy peanut butter. You can add some chopped salted peanuts if you want to. We just like the crunchy peanut butter. Pour the warm, melted morsels into the squished up corn flakes and start dropping them onto waxed paper. This part always clears the room. For some reason my boys never liked dropping candies or rolling out balls. Just make little mounds sort of like the haystacks. Don’t make big gobs. Work quickly so your mixture doesn’t harden on you…you don’t have to go too fast. Once you drop them, just let them cool and watch them disappear.

They sound delicious. Looks like I need to get out and buy some corn syrup!

You make these in NO TIME! Honest! I had them done in five minutes! We were in the kitchen (the whole family - in my MICROSCOPIC Kitchen!) eating them warm right off the cookie sheet!!!

I told my husband "Oh lord, you don't want to taste these, we are going to make ourselves sick eating these!" because I knew we would NEVER be able to stop, they are SO GOOD! SO GOOD!! SOOO GOOOOD!!!!

My sister in law made them the next day and her whole family went ga-ga, too! We used to eat these in the lunchroom growing up and OMG THEY ARE SOO GOOD!!! Did I mention that they are really, really good?

Thank you, Donna, for being a guest blogger on Southern Plate!
