Cornflake candy, also known as cornflake crunch, is a classic no-bake treat that has been enjoyed for generations. This sweet and crunchy confection is made by combining cornflakes with a mixture of sugar, corn syrup, and peanut butter, then shaping it into bite-sized clusters. The history of cornflake candy dates back to the mid-20th century, when it became a popular homemade treat in American households. Today, it is a beloved dessert often found at bake sales, potlucks, and holiday gatherings. Chefs and home cooks alike continue to put their own spin on this nostalgic treat, adding ingredients like chocolate, marshmallows, or nuts for extra flavor. In the southern United States, it's a staple at church socials and family reunions. For the best version of this dish, look for a recipe that balances the sweetness of the sugar and corn syrup with the nuttiness of the peanut butter, and ensures the cornflakes stay crispy.
