Mom's Corn Flake Candy

Another family food tradition has for YEARS been Corn Flake Candy. My mom has made these ever since I can remember. They are definitely a holiday treat that we all look forward to each and every year, and one I personally enjoy helping in the kitchen with. I look forward to the day when I can pass this on to our children as well!!

(I don't have pictures as of yet, but as soon as the holiday season gets closer and we get a chance to make these.... pictures will be posted!!!)

INGREDIENTS:

• 6 cups Corn Flake cereal
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup white Karo
• 1 cup peanut butter

DIRECTIONS:

(caution: these will get sticky and not set up correctly if it is warm and/or humid outside... sadly they are mainly a fall/winter delicacy!)

Butter a large mixing bowl. Measure Corn Flakes into the buttered mixing bowl. Mix sugar and syrup in a sauce pan. Bring to a rolling boil and remove from stove and add peanut butter. Mix peanut butter mixture until smooth and pour over Corn Flakes. Mix until the flakes are all coated with the peanut butter mixture. Drop by spoonfuls onto wax paper and allow to set up.  (I've also seen these where people have added green food coloring and when being placed on the wax paper they for them into wreaths and add a red hot candy piece to make it more festive for Christmas, we don't personally make them this way, but it is another idea to make it your own!)
