How to Make Cornflake Penuche

  1. Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan with cooking spray. Line the pan with aluminum foil, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal, and spray again with cooking spray.
  2. In a heavy-bottomed 4-quart saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter completely.
  3. Add the granulated sugar and stir constantly with a wooden spoon until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
  4. Gradually add the evaporated milk, stirring continuously to prevent scorching. Maintain low heat throughout this process.
  5. Once the milk is incorporated, stir in the cornflakes until evenly coated.
  6. Remove the pan from the heat immediately. Work quickly!
  7. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and firmly press it down evenly into the corners.
  8. Cover the pan loosely with waxed paper.
  9. Let the candy stand at room temperature in a cool, dry place for 48 hours. Do not refrigerate.
  10. After 48 hours, gently lift the candy from the pan using the foil overhang.
  11. Peel off the foil and break the candy into bite-sized pieces.
  12. Store the Cornflake Penuche in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days. Enjoy!
