No-Bake Peanut Butter Corn Flake Cookies

Am I the last person ever to make these cookies?  I have eaten these cookies many times, mostly when we get the chance to go to Utah to visit my family.  I love them, but have never made them.  Usually when I make no-bake cookies, I make these.  But....I will be making these more often now :)

 

No-Bake Peanut Butter Corn Flake Cookies

 

Ingredients:

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup light corn syrup

1 cup peanut butter (I used creamy, but I'm sure crunchy would be delicious too)

6 cups corn flake cereal

 

Directions:  Measure corn flakes into a large bowl and set aside.  Combine corn syrup and sugar in a large sauce pan.  Bring to boil and remove from heat.  Stir in peanut butter.  Add to the corn flakes and mix well.  Drop by tablespoons(I use my cookie scoop that is approximately 1 tablespoon) onto wax paper.  Allow cookies to cool and set-up for ~30 minutes.....enjoy!!  Store in an airtight container.

My sister sent me these pictures and this recipe. I can't wait to try this stuff!! She couldn't remember where she got the recipe or what it is called. This is what she said in her email...."I really don't know what this stuff is called but it is delicious. I just call it Yummy." Sounds good to me:) If any of you have made this before and know the 'official' name, please leave me a comment and let me know.
