Cornflake Haystacks Recipes

HOLIDAY HAYSTACKS

Steps:

• Heat 2 inches of water in a pot to a simmer. Add the semisweet and milk chocolate to a bowl and place over the pot of simmering water. Allow to melt, stirring occasionally, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add the noodles, almonds and pistachios to a large bowl and set aside.
• When the chocolate has melted completely, pour over the noodle and nut mixture. Mix until everything is well coated in the melted chocolate.
• Using 2 spoons, drop tablespoon mounds onto 2 parchment-lined baking sheets. Sprinkle the holiday sprinkles over the top. Allow to dry completely before storing, about 1 hour.

NO-BAKE CEREAL HAYSTACKS

Steps:

• Put the cereal in a large bowl. Combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, heavy cream and butter in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and whisk until smooth. Continue cooking, whisking occasionally, until the mixture thickens and starts to pull away from the sides of the pan, 5 to 6 minutes (it should register 230 degrees F on a candy thermometer). Remove from the heat and whisk in the vanilla, nutmeg and salt.
• Immediately pour the caramel over the cereal and stir with a rubber spatula until evenly coated. Scoop heaping tablespoonfuls of the cereal mixture onto an ungreased baking sheet. Let cool slightly, then use your fingers to gently form each into a mound or pyramid shape; sprinkle with nonpareils. Let cool completely.

GRAMA'S CORN FLAKE PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. Bring the sugar and corn syrup to a boil in a saucepan over medium heat; stir in butter and peanut butter until thoroughly mixed, and remove from heat.
• Place the corn flakes into a large bowl, and pour the peanut butter mixture over the cereal. Mix until the corn flakes are coated with the mixture. Drop by tablespoon onto the waxed paper; flatten slightly if desired. Allow to cool before serving.

CORNFLAKE HAYSTACKS

Steps:

• Add the peanut butter and package of butterscotch morsels to large pan over a low/med heat.
• Melt, stirring often.
• Once your mixture is smooth and creamy, turn off heat and add cornflakes. Mix well until all flakes are coated. (you can add additional flakes per your texture preference but I have found this amount works well).
• Place your cookies (I use a pampered chef medium scoop) on wax paper, and let cool.
