No-bake Peanut Butter Corn Flake Treats

No-Bake-Peanut-Butter-Corn-Flake-TreatsRaise your hand if you’re like me and think No-Bake treat recipes are the GREATEST!

I try to keep ingredients for these No-bake Peanut Butter Corn Flake Treats on hand at all times. I also try to keep ingredients for these Blondie No-bake Cookies and this No-bake Cherry Cheesecake stocked, too….and having rice crispies and marshmallows around brings me almost as much comfort as having eggs in the fridge. Some people have FOMO. I have FONHIFNBT (Fear of not having ingredients to make no-bake treats). It’s a real condition!

You just never know when a kid might come home and say they’re supposed to take a treat to scouts, or they invited 4 friends over to watch a movie. Or, who am I kidding? Most of the time it’s me who just decides I can’t live another minute without these no-bake Smore’s Rice Crispies or these Snicker Bar Rice Crispies on any given Wednesday. Seriously, friends, if you haven’t tried those Snicker Bar Rice Crispies yet, you are missing out!

Now you know what helps me sleep better at night. Out of all of the quick No-bake recipes I have on my site, these cute little No-Bake Peanut Butter Corn Flake Treats are the ones I make the most often because they are SOOOO easy!

I know people get a little worked up about Karo Syrup (Corn Syrup). So when you see that in the recipe, please don’t come at me with a pitchfork…I’m of the mindset that anything can kill you if you eat too much of it…but my friend, Karo Syrup, doesn’t deserve all the hate…I mean think of all the beautiful things it can make….

how to make no-bake peanut butter corn flake treats

  • Measure corn flakes into a 3-quart or larger bowl. Set aside.
  • Pre-measure the peanut butter, and set it near the stove.
  • In a saucepan, combine granulated sugar and Karo Syrup.
  • Bring to a full boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
  • Once it reaches a full boil, remove from heat and quickly stir in peanut butter.
  • Immediately pour peanut butter mixture over cornflakes and stir until evenly coated. Using a large spoon or cookie scoop, scoop out 2-Tbsp-size scoops and place them evenly spaced on a sheet of wax paper.
  • Allow to cool before eating.
  • Store in an airtight container or sealed Ziploc bag at room temperature.

I’m not saying you need to eat each of those things every day, and I’m also not saying you need to eat the entire batch yourself…I’m just saying occasionally indulging in a special treat that happens to have Karo Syrup in it, probably isn’t going to ruin your life. But, I will also totally respect you, if Corn Syrup isn’t something you put into your body. You can use brown rice syrup or you can try honey. Honey might change the texture and will make them very sweet.

Tips for making No-bake Peanut Butter Corn Flake Treats

You can use Rice Crispies instead of Corn Flakes:

I make these almost as often with rice crispies as I do with corn flakes. I have also used Rice Chex cereal before, too.

You can use Creamy or Chunky Peanut Butter:

If you like peanuts, go for chunky. If you don’t, keep it creamy. Either peanut butter isn’t going to affect the taste of the recipe. It is just a personal preference on whether you want little chunks of peanuts in your treats.

How to store them:

Once the little clusters of addictive deliciousness have cooled, put them in an airtight container or sealed Ziploc bag. Stored this way the treats will stay fresh for 3-4 days. Store them at room temperature.
