Instructions
Step 1
Melt the sugar in the corn syrup on the stovetop before adding peanut butter, stirring until smooth and melty.
Step 2
Using whichever brand of cornflakes you prefer, add one cup at a time, mixing to combine. You can use any amount from 4 to 6 cups; we try to find a sweet spot of at least 5 cups. (Less cornflakes mean slightly more gooey candies, which can turn out to be a mess when storing.)
Step 3
While the mixture is still warm, quickly drop big spoonfuls into clusters on a greased or parchment paper-covered sheet pan. Let clusters cool until set and firm—then watch them disappear from the plate!
Step 4
