How to Make Fast And Easy Corn Flake Candy

  1. In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan or Dutch oven, combine 1 cup granulated sugar and ½ cup light corn syrup.
  2. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture comes to a rolling boil (235-240°F on a candy thermometer).
  3. Immediately remove from heat.
  4. Stir in 1 cup creamy peanut butter until completely combined and smooth.
  5. Add 6 cups of corn flakes and stir gently but quickly until all flakes are evenly coated with the peanut butter mixture.
  6. Optionally, stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  7. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto wax paper or a silicone baking mat. Let cool completely until firm.
  8. Alternatively, spread the mixture evenly into a greased 13x9 inch baking dish. Let cool completely, then cut into squares.
