Can I Use Natural Or Crunchy Peanut Butter When Making These?

Regular creamy peanut butter is the only kind of peanut butter to use in this recipe. I have not tried crunchy peanut butter or natural. Natural peanut butter would not work with this recipe as it is too oily and not as "stable" as regular creamy peanut butter.

Can I Use Another Type of Cereal?

Yes! Have fun, be creative, and play around with it - I am sure cereals like Cheerios and Chex would all work! And don't forget about rice krispies !

My No Bake Peanut Butter Cornflake Balls are Really Hard When They Set Up. What Did I Do Wrong?

You have cooked the peanut butter mixture too long. When you turn the stove on medium, start a timer for 7 minutes and stir often. Around the 4-5 minute mark, you will see a couple of bubbles. Remove from the heat immediately after the 7 minutes is up. This does not need to come to a full boil.

How to Store Leftovers

Store these in an air-tight container or bag for 4-5 days. This will help keep them fresh and soft longer.

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

To a medium size pan, add the sugar, peanut butter, and Karo syrup. Place on the stove and turn on medium heat.
Start a timer for 7 minutes. During that 7 minutes, stirring often. Around 5 minutes everything should be melted together, the sugar dissolved, and tiny bubbles will start to pop up.
Once the 7 minutes is up and you can see bubbles in the middle of your pan, remove from the heat and add in the cornflakes.
Stir until well combined and the peanut butter mixture coats over all the cornflakes.
Using a cookie scoop, scoop out balls onto wax or parchment paper.
Once you have scooped all the balls, either spray your hands with non-stick cooking spray or wear disposable kitchen gloves, form the balls you just scooped into tighter round balls with your hands. You will have some time to do this while the peanut butter balls are still warm. Pack the balls tightly and then let them cool.
Once they have cooled and set, enjoy!

Notes
