How to Make Puffed Party Squares

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 6 cups corn flakes, 3 cups rice krispies, and 2 cups puffed wheat cereal.
  3. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter. Stir in 1 ½ cups packed light brown sugar and ½ cup corn syrup. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth, about 1 minute.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup creamy peanut butter until well combined.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients over the cereal mixture and stir gently until all the cereal is evenly coated.
  6. Transfer the mixture to the prepared 8x8 inch baking pan. Press firmly and evenly into the pan using a spatula or wax paper.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
  8. Once cooled, cut into squares and serve. Enjoy!
