Peanut Butter Cornflakes are a wonderful no bake dessert. They are extremely addicting so beware!
My neighbor made these when we went up the canyon one summer and I fell in love. Such a gooey treat! Peanut butter and gooey-ness just say, “Eat me! I’m delicious!” I always double these and they still don’t last long enough. You can drizzle melted chocolate on top if you want, but I love them just the way they are.

Oh my! I would SOOO love these – I have a similar recipe in my cookbook that uses rice chex, but this is an awesome idea to use up corn flakes, and it would be just as yummy. I'm soo with you on the 'gooey' comment! I always tell folks not to make them when they're home alone or no one will get to taste them. =) I will have to try these with cornflakes very soon. These are
Yum! These are similar to honey cornflakes we had as a child. I love cornflake sweets

My school cafeteria used to make these and the teachers loved them as much as the kids! They rock!!!!
These sound so yummy! Definitely will be making these!
Can't wait to try these! Mahalo for posting Mandy. ;-))
I'm from Arkansas and we call these scrumptious treats, "Peanut Butter Chewies." They were formed into mounds or balls. They would be served as dessert with our school lunches. Ahh…those were the days!
I am gonna try this with Cheerios! Made it with Corn Flakes and it was AWESOME! Thanks so much Mandy for this recipe.
You’re welcome! Cheerios sound good, too 🙂
