- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 1/2 cups crunchy peanut butter
- 2 cup mini marshmallows
- 3 cups corn flakes cereal
Heat sugar and corn syrup in a medium saucepan until it comes to a full, rolling boil. Stir occasionally. Once boiling, remove from heat.
Add peanut butter and stir until smooth.
Stir in mini marshmallows and cornflakes. Only stir until the cornflakes are completely coated; do not fully stir in melted marshmallows.
Drop by spoonfuls onto parchment paper. Let cool before eating.
- Use creamy peanut butter instead of crunchy, if desired.
- To help the corn syrup pour easily from the measuring cup, spray it first with nonstick cooking spray.
- Melted sugar is extremely hot; do not touch the mixture until cooled.
- Move quickly when dropping the spoonfuls of cookies onto the parchment paper. They will harden quickly.
- Try adding some more fun add-ins such as coconut, rice krispies, dried fruit, etc.
