I've been making this candy for more than 30 years, and the first time my husband tasted it, he simply called it the good stuff ! We've loved it each holiday ever since. Ingredients:
1 teaspoon butter |
5 cups cornflakes |
1 package (10 ounces) peanut butter chips |
1 cup light corn syrup |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/2 cup packed brown sugar |
1-3/4 cups creamy peanut butter, warmed |
1 cup dry-roasted peanuts |
9 milk chocolate candy bars (1.55 ounces each) |
Directions:
1. Line a 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan with foil and grease the foil with 1 teaspoon butter; set aside. Place cornflakes in a large bowl; set aside. In a microwave, melt peanut butter chips; stir until smooth. Spread into the prepared pan.
2. In a small saucepan, combine the corn syrup, sugar and brown sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat. Stir in peanut butter until smooth. Stir in peanuts.
3. Immediately pour over cornflakes; fold to combine. Spread over peanut butter chips.
4. Top with chocolate bars. Bake at 350° for 2-4 minutes or until chocolate is melted; spread evenly. Chill for up to 30 minutes or until firm. Using foil, lift candy out of pan. Discard foil; cut into 1-in. squares. Store in an airtight container. Yield: about 4 pounds.
