I dare you to make these. And then I dare you to just eat one of them. I GUARANTEE that you won’t be able to do it.

I was able to make these cookies from start to finish in 17 minutes flat (I had to hurry because we were on our way to church, but I needed to take a picture of them while the light was still good . . . food blogger problems . . . ha ha).

Anyway, they came together in no time and seriously, I thought about skipping out on church a little early to come home and eat a couple.

They are delicious, easy to make, inexpensive, and absolutely delicious. You will love this simple dessert.

Could I make these with almond butter, or peanut butter substitute?

This recipe calls for peanut butter, but you could easily switch it out for something else, especially if you have an allergy.

You could use:

Almond Butter
Cashew Butter
Walnut Butter
Sunflower Butter
Biscoff Cookie Spread
Nutella

What other cereal could I make these cookies with?

The thing I love about these cookies, is how easy and versatile they are. For this recipe, we used cornflakes, however, you could easily switch out the cornflakes, for another cereal, of your choosing.

If you need a few ideas, here are some cereals, that would make a great replacement:

Frosted Flakes (you could also use the chocolate Frosted Flakes as well).
Golden Grahams
Cheerios (chocolate, peanut butter, frosted, or honey would all work for this recipe)
Rice Krispies (again, a chocolate flavor would work well with this recipe)
Cocoa Pebbles
Cocoa Puffs
Reese’s Puffs

Ingredients

Equipment

Saucepan (Medium)

Instructions

Combine sugar and corn syrup in a medium saucepan. Place over medium-high heat and stir until the mixture comes to a full boil. Remove from heat and stir in the whole container of peanut butter. Mix well.
Add corn flakes to a large bowl. Pour warm peanut butter mixture over corn flakes and mix well, making sure to coat all of the corn flakes.
Scoop out and form into 1-2 inch balls (I used my hands, but you could use a spoon if you wanted to), and place them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment or wax paper.
If using chocolate, put the chocolate chips in a small bowl and melt in the microwave for about 30-60 seconds. Stir until smooth.
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cookies.
These cookies are delicious when they are still warm and gooey and equally delicious when they have cooled down and set up a little bit.

Mary says:

I have made these for years (30 plus). My recipe says, “Aunt Ruth’s Cornflake Cookies”. Another version the kids all love is use Cheerios instead and spread them in a pan like Rice Crispy treats. As a matter of fact, I made those this afternoon.

The Allen Family says:

Bwahaha! You came home from church to eat some?! Love that! Unless you were just teasing – it was still a funny thought. I’ll be pinning these for later. Thanks1

Brigitte Yeranossian says:

Wow! I thought I was the only one on the planet who made these! I first learned of them in my college years when my best friend, and roommate received them in her care package. Well, 15+ years later we still both make them and reminisce!

Rachel (I Love My Disorganized Life) says:

These would be gone in a flash at my house! I love that you snuck out of church to eat some. I think I would have, too.

Our Pinteresting Family says:

These look to die for. 🙂 Pinning this asap. 🙂

Maria says:

Oh my goodness these sound DELICIOUS!!!! Love that they are made of cornflakes, what a great idea!!!!!

Jill says:

mike says:

Way too much peanut butter. 1 cup is plenty

sara says:

Are these too gooey to take anywhere? Was thinking about bringing them to work for Thanksgiving…

Cyd says:

They are not too gooey. They hold their shape. Very delicious!

sher says:

These sound and look delicious! Sorry, silly question here. But instead of corn flakes, you think using Bran flakes would taste just as good?

Cyd says:

It would give it a different taste, but if you love bran flakes you won’t mind at all!

Tracy Baldwin says:

Made these tonight! So simple. So yummy! Will be making these again!

yves klein blue says:

So delicious! I wish I can eat a little piece. I will go to kitchen and get started to make it now.

yoga hammock says:

I have made these several times and have substituted several different cereals…I have used rice crispies, coco puffs together and its every crunchier….You can also add some miniature chocolate chips after you stir in everything else and it gives you a chocolate touch….I also make this in bar form with these mixtures and the kids love it and call them dino bites

denver pay day loans says:

I feel hungry when seeing the images from your post. I will make it this weekend. My son will love it so much.

Tile flooring Denver says:

chris says:

How many cookies does this make….and have u ever used frosted flakes?

Cyd says:

This recipe makes about 3 dozen cookies. We have not used frosted flakes. They are sweeter than regular corn flakes because they have the sugary coating.

Judith says:

These are yummy. As well as the peanut butter, I made them with Nutella one time and with Trader Joe’s Cookie Butter. Grandkids and friends loved all three versions.
