Old Fashoined Corn Flake Candy - Old Fashioned Peanut Butter Candy

[@Not-surprised]

My dad had his cornflakes and banana for breakfast almost every day. He’s been gone many years, and I still have his cornflakes bowl as a memory. I love it ❤

[@cathywhite7531]

My father had cornflakes and bananas every morning for breakfast also before going off to work. He passed away in 1988. I love it myself, even if I decided to have some for a mid night snack 😋

[@rhondareese1607]

Thank you so much for this recipe. I’ve been looking for this recipe for years. I lost mine. When I was in elementary school in the 60s this was one of the desserts we had. They would spread it out into a sheet pan. Then cut it into squares. Love this. I’m 66 . Been quite a long time.

[@jessicamckinney9825]

We always make this with fritos corn chips! The balance of sweet and salty is amazing!!

[@susanhinson5154]

Ms Tammy this reminds me of a holiday treat I make . Called holly leaves. I would melt a stick of butter & 30 marshmallows which is a large bag. When melted add green food coloring to it. Then add about 3 cups of corn flakes. Mix well and drop spoonfuls on parchment or wax paper. Shape into a leaf and put a small cinnamon ball in the middle. They are so good. Love you Tammy keep cooking ❤️

[@rhondatrujillo-lambert8611]

You asked about any other summer time desserts..no heat. I used to make a cream cheese lemon ice box pie. Delicious. No heat required. I brick of cream cheese, one can sweetened condensed milk, one third cup lemon juice, one teaspoon vanilla. Mix well, pour into graham cracker crust, refrigerate.

[@babzee7111]

@rhondatrujillo-lambert8611 … Is that 8 oz brick or 16 oz brick of cream cheese? Sounds yummy!

[@michellejones8282]

I am going to have to make your recipe too! It sounds delicious and 1 of my absolute favorite desserts is lemon chess pie! Thank You so Much Tammy and Rhonda!🥰

Tammy you asked what is a favorite summer time evening treat. For me it was leftover cornbread in a bowl with milk . I still love it.💕

[@paulandbenny]

I make extra cornbread sometimes just so I can have that as my late night snack.

[@chappy675]

Cornbread and sweet milk is what my daddy called it. That was one of his favorites.

[@henrycooks1883]

Used to make this when my kids were little, cooked it different though the 2 versions I used to make state once it comes to a boil, remove from heat add peanut butter, then flakes.

[@barbarasue7191]

No matter what we ate, our memories were better and more innocent. I miss those more than what we ate

[@eugenedeverger2114]

Yes ❤️

[@karenblankenship9405]

Hi Tammy, I made this candy for my kids many times when they were growing up. I just want to thank you for sharing your cooking skills with us. I always like having a new video from you. You look great and seem like you are feeling better, praise God! I got your blending fork, green bean pot, and hand crank can opener during the prime day sales. I love all of them.

[@cindakellogg1307]

A COLD can of salmon, sliced tomatoes, green onions, radishes, cottage cheese and saltine crackers...and big chunks of cantaloupe. So good on a hot Kansas evening.

[@annjohns9939]

My precious mother in law made this for years. Thanks for the memories.

[@nancywaller3300]

I’ve never had corn flake candy but we used to make rice krispy squares a lot. It’s made much the same. We have taco salad a lot in the summer when you don’t want to eat very much. Still make that. Your hair looks very nice up, much cooler also. I always have mine up in the summer.

[@ladysmith3578]

I make mine like Rice Krispie treats. At Christmas me and momma would color our marshmallow cream green , add our Rice Krispies and shape them like a wreath, decorated them with red hots . I actually like the corn flakes better than the Rice Krispies. I will make these and add that peanut butter. Sounds so good. I love a bowl of cereal any time. ❤

[@kboyd116]

My Granny made these but her were put flat in a pan and cut in squares! These are wonderful desserts and not real expensive to make!

[@pampriddy7659]

That’s how my Mama always made them so of course I do as well.

[@marylour253]

Cold cut sandwiches with fresh tomato, marinated cucumber and onion salad, or Cole slaw, pickled beets and cantaloupe .

[@donnaostrin545]

Never had this and my mom was from the South. 😊 Reminds me of Rice Krispie treats. Think I’ll put it in a pan & then cut them into squares.

[@keeyore61]

My aunt makes this, but she pours hers into a 9x13 pan and then cuts into squares

[@eugenekraemer930]

I have made this for more than 50 years and got the recipe from a lady who was old then. My recipe specifically says to only heat until sugar and karo are melted. DO NOT BOIL! Immediately take off the heat, add peanut butter and then cornflakes. Put into a buttered pan. Then cut into squares. Drizzle with melted chocolate chips if desired. This is much better than trying to work with hot mixture and stays easy to chew.

[@emaanlovescrochet1356]

Hi 👋🏻, I’m from Australia and never heard of this. We have something similar that we call Honey Joys. Cook butter, sugar and honey in a pot like you did the pour over cornflakes. Mix and then put them in patty cases( I guess like small muffin papers) Cook in the oven for 10 mins and then let them cool down. The kids love them.

[@TxBreeze06]

My grandma used to make this, along with so many other kinds of candy. One that I really like is large marshmallows dipped in melted caramel then rolled in rice krispies

[@reesewhitt5495]

That sounds good

[@pampriddy7659]

Sometimes we rolled the marshmallows in chopped pecans after we dipped them in melted caramel or chocolate.

[@eugenedeverger2114]

I Love these peanut butter candy, when I was a little girl my aunt made these in the school cafeteria where she worked we called it peanut butter brittle it was so delicious 😋 ❤

[@lindalrb3864]

Awesomeness! I loved cornflake candy. My favorite summertime treat was Ice cream in the old churn. We ten kids took turns on the crank. Man what fun times.

[@nursehoney24]

I make this a lot bc my family loves it! I just do mine over medium heat until everything’s melted & dissolved…….never boil tho, that can make your candy too hard, I just learned this thru many years of making it & I pour mine in a glass candy dish, then cut into squares ❤

[@kathybennett7560]

Tammy you could cook up a mud pie and I would sit here loving every minute of your instruction AND I would probably attempt to make it just like my momma did!! I do so enjoy your videos and if it wasn’t 2 am in the morning and my husband was awake I would make him some of this candy. I have some left over boxes of Crispix cereal that didn’t get opened for my party mix and I bet I could pour your candy mixture over that cereal. I have some toffee bits I could add or maybe a few chocolate chips after it cooled down. I am just thinking of all the extra things I have on my baking shelf that go into my homemade cookies. Thanks Tammy for another good ole recipe for just the right amount of sweetness to share with a neighbor or put in the candy box as a nice surprise after a busy spring day. ❤

[@lauriebradley8295]

I’m 72 and from Canada. My Mum made this candy many times! Mmmmmmmm❤

[@sherrywebber4013]

I haven't had it since the late 60's!!! My stepdaughter back in the eighties made a rendition of it by putting peanut butter, stir in it, the corn flakes and the peanut butter, and then flattening it out and a zip block bag and putting it in the freezer. Then you just break it off and eat it. And that was really good, too! Especially in the summer.😊😅

[@bethdavis7812]

My mother showed me how to make these as I was growing up. She said that during her early years of marriage during the great depression peanut butter and cornflakes were passed out by the government agencies to help people cope with hunger. She would plan and save to make these for a treat at Christmas. I love the ice box desserts that were popular in the 1950s when most people had acquired a refrigerator but no air conditioning by that time. I still make many of those today instead of turning on an oven even though I have air conditioning. By the way, we used less cornflakes because we liked the peanut mixture better.

[@carolspencer9396]

There is an older recipe like rice crispy treats, peanut butter incorporated into the marshmallow and butter except sugar crisp cereal replaces the rice crispies, a 1/2 cup of raisins. Not clear on how many cups of cereal, but I know it gets pressed into a greased 13x9 pan, then dusted with 10x sugar. Also, I believe it was 1/2 cup peanut butter and a little more regular butter melted with the marshmallows. If anyone else knows of this recipe maybe they know the exact ingredients.

[@CarpeDiem-ii5fu]

I was thinking about this candy the other day. I couldn't remember the ingredients, except peanut butter. I'm so glad you posted this. Thank you!

[@beckycarter-uy9ti]

I remember having this as a dessert on our lunch trays in elementary school in the 1960’s. My mother asked the lunchroom manager for the recipe and she gladly shared it. Instill love it to this day.

[@ladye8686]

We have this as cornflake cookies. On our school lunch tray, I just love this. Thank you so much for bringing back those memories. Grace, and thank you for being you. My mama was from the South and she's gone. And I just love watching you and hearing you talk, thank you.

[@choosekindness5677]

I bet this would be really good rolled into little logs, then dipped in chocolate coating. Kinda like a candy bar. I love peanut butter! Great show, Tammy & Chris!

[@colleen1770]

My favorite dinner in the summer is a tuna salad sandwich with a big piece of cold iceberg lettuce. Cool, easy and good. I just had one.

[@donnabrown4818]

I loved cornflakes with a banana, or nanner as we say, cut up in it. My aunt made candy for Christmas using cornflakes. She called it holly candy.

[@madampolo]

I, too, love cornflakes and bananas. I've never had cornflake candy but it sure looks good and is easy to make. I'm going to try it.

[@HelenSeifert]

You should dip them in chocolate

[@rhondasheridan7049]

Lol coming from a chocoholic?? Lol anything is better with chocoholic 🙂

[@anakelly76512]

As a chocoholic, I agree. Since the candy is very sweet, I'd use dark chocolate. But, others can use whatever chocolate they love.

[@kathya9522]

I’m a chocoholic, but these are just too sweet to add anything else. I’ve never added salt, but I will now!

[@leaannebrummett9159]

We ate raw from the garden a lot in the summer. Mom would also have lunch meat on hand at all times. It was too hot to cook with no central air. Never had these cornflake candy but they sure sound good. We had cereals on hand but were never allowed to eat them for supper.

[@trevahilliard5711]

We had corn flake candy last Sunday

Never tried cornflakes,have used rice krispies. Delicious. I will have to try cornflakes.

[@monnanugent8168]

My mom use to make orange jello with fruit cocktail in it. Oh my goodness it sure was good. I found out years later that she would cut a few maraschino cherries in half and put them in there because the cherries were the best part. I sure miss the simple days.

[@sherrywebber4013]

One of my favorite desserts in the summertime was fruit salad with cream cheese the fold in cool whip mixed in it

Yep, that’s pretty much how all those pudding and jello salads go, there’s a ton of different ones.

I made that many times for my daughters when they were little. It was always a hit with all of us! Now I make it at Christmas to give out. One of my dad’s favorite things to eat was a hot buttered biscuit with a thick slice of one of his home grown tomatoes. I can still remember eating them with him---so, so good! I love cereal with a banana now! It’s amazing how much a whole banana plus a bowl of cereal will fill you up! I enjoyed this video--this is one of my favorites…..😊 ❤️-Brenda

Looks TOO good! Mom used to make protein balls but I don't have her recipe. I 'think' it was equal parts of powdered milk, peanut butter, and honey mixed together...formed into small balls ....then rolled in bran cereal. NO heat involved! A tasty quick boost of energy. I'm going to 'try' and find it online. Something 'I'm' fond of is placing yogurt cups in the freezer for about an hour, and eating it...when'ever!' It makes a nice breakfast...or, bedtime snack...or, anytime at all. I like to put a container in the freezer at bedtime so its ready for the morning! : )

[@karensweet6530]

My Grandmaws n Mama along with myself have made this! We never boiled our mixture just heated until the sugar was melted! Then add Corn Flakes or whatever cereal you want or have! Then pour into a 9x13 pan and let cool. Cut into squares! It holds together alot better! Ive added Blueberries and Maraschino Cherries in with it. Its absolutely delicious! Buttermilk n Cornbread with Black Pepper and a hunk of onion or green onions and tomaters! Also, left over Pintos or Butterbeans with Cornbread n onion and a Glass of Thick Cold Buttermilk! Yummy y'all...

[@pampriddy7659]

That’s exactly how we made/make our cornflake cookies. Boiling it causes it to harden before you can get them stirred up and poured into your pan or made into balls. I love beans, cornbread, onions , tomatoes and everything you mentioned except for the buttermilk. Oh how I wish I liked it but as many times as I’ve tried I just can’t do it.
