Cereal Treats

Donna Tolman

1 c. light corn syrup                                 1 c. peanut butter (crunchy or smooth)

1 c. sugar                                               6 c. Cheerios, Corn Flakes, or Rice Krispies

Bring sugar and corn syrup to boil over medium heat. Remove from heat. Add peanut butter and mix until creamy. Pour over cereal. Mix thoroughly. Press into lightly buttered 9x13 pan. Cool completely.

So this is the original recipe. I like to use the creamy peanut butter when I make it but Alex prefers the chunky. Also the longer it takes to reach boiling the more flavorful and soft they stay . You want to bring it just to a rolling boil and then take it off, the longer it boils the harder the candy. Alex like a harder texture so he cooks his on high. We prefer to make it with Cheerios. My mom has made it with Corn Flakes and they are still good. I don't recommend using Rice Krispies, they become very compacted and hard to cut/eat.
We also like to double the recipe and put it in a 15x9 pan.

This is Alex's favorite recipe we hope you Enjoy it!
