How to Make Peanut Butter Crunch

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup light corn syrup, 1/4 cup butter, and 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter.
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a rolling boil. Continue to boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
  3. Remove from heat and immediately stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Add 6 cups Frosted Flakes cereal to the peanut butter mixture and stir gently until the cereal is evenly coated.
  5. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  6. Press the cereal mixture into the prepared pan. Let it cool completely before cutting into squares.
