Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ teaspoon Kosher salt, plus extra for sprinkling (you could also use Falk salt for sprinkling)
- 5 ½ cups Cornflakes cereal
Instructions
- Add Cornflakes to a large mixing bowl and set aside. Have ready large sheets of wax paper laid out across your work surface.
- Add sugar and light corn syrup to a small or medium-sized saucepan (close to a 4-cup capacity is preferable). Bring to high heat and stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula. Be very careful of spills and splatters -- sugar gets extremely hot.
- As soon as the mixture reaches a boil, remove it from the heat. Carefully, add the peanut butter and ½ teaspoon salt and stir until combined.
- Pour the mixture over the cereal and gently stir until all of the cereal is coated. Working quickly, scoop mounds (about 2 heaping tablespoons) of the mixture and set on the wax paper. Sprinkle with a generous pinch of Kosher or Falk salt and allow to cool and set, about 25 minutes.
