Instructions
  1. In medium pan over medium heat add syrup, sugar, cinnamon and vanilla extract. Stir constantly until it reaches a boil. Do not overcook.
  2. Reduce heat to low and add peanut butter cups and mini marshmallows. Stir until thoroughly blended together.
  3. Remove from heat and fold in raisins/craisins and nuts.
  4. In large bowl, add cornflakes then pour candied syrup mixture over corn flakes. Mix and fold until corn flakes are thoroughly coated. I recommend you mix thoroughly with buttered hands 🙂
  5. Transfer to a buttered 9 x 13 inch pan and press down lightly with large spoon or buttered hands.
  6. Allow to cool or refrigerate. When cool, cut into squares.
Recipe Notes

Advanced Preparation:

Everything can be done in advance, refrigerated and serve when ready.

Tips, Notes, and Variations:

  • If you don't have peanut butter cups you can substitute 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter and 1/4 cup semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate chips
  • More energy needed? Add any other types of nuts, fruits, etc.
  • When I can find them I love substituting craisin for raisins.
