These do not last long in my house.....very addictive! Also, simple and goes wonderful on cookie trays for Christmas or other holiday trays. My friend Sara, from high school, would make these and bring them to share. I was the biggest pig and gobbled them all up.

    Crush cornflakes to equal 3 cups (about 2/3 of 12 oz box of cereal). Set aside. Grease 9 inch square pan lightly.

    Add sugar and corn syrup to medium sauce pan and bring to a boil. Remove from heat.

    Add peanut butter and stir.

    Add cereal to sugar & peanut butter mixture and mix well. Spread into greased pan.
