How to Make Cornflake Candy:

| 1. Pour the sugar into the saucepan. |
2. Measure the corn syrup. If you have a measuring cup like
I am using in the picture, it is easier, but you can do it in a regular
measuring cup.
Then pour the corn syrup into the saucepan. If you are using a regular measuring cup, scrape all of the syrup out and into the saucepan.
|
3. Now pour in the powdered milk | 4. Stir the mixture, then cover the pan and slowly bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. |

When the peanut butter mixture is ready, pour it over the cornflakes. Scrape the bowl so that you get all of the mixture. Stir the mixture into the cornflakes. |
