- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar and corn syrup. Stir constantly until the mixture begins to boil.
- Remove from heat and quickly stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.
- Gently fold in the cornflakes, making sure they’re evenly coated without crushing them.
- Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto wax paper or parchment paper and let them cool and set for about 30 minutes.

Notes
- Work quickly when mixing and dropping the candy, as the mixture can harden fast.
