I was going to post my recipe for "Cornflake Things" but I did a search first, and found your recipe. Mine is made the same way, but I spread it in a 10 by 13 inch buttered pan and let it cool. Then I melt 1 cup chocolate chips and 1 cup butterscotch chips, and spread over the top. Once the topping is set, cut into small bars. NOTE: DO NOT BOIL THIS! One time I let the mixture actually boil for a few minutes, rather than removing it from the heat as soon as came to a boil. Nobody broke any teeth on the results, but it wouldn't have surprised me if someone had. They were like ROCKS!

My daughter Adiya is still forming the balls as I write this, but I've already had a taste and I can just tell from that first Mmmmmmmmmmmm that this is something that is going to be made again, and made often. This is incredibly simple, and delicious, well worth the, oh, let me see, 5 minutes out of your life that it takes to actually make these babies. It actually takes a little longer, as you lovingly form the balls, but my 11 year old daughter did it all by herself. If you deal with the boiling part and get a little helper to deal with the ball rolling, you've got it made. A great project to do with your kids. I took what ThatBobbieGirl said seriously and was scared to let the mixture boil. It was just starting to bubble around the edges when I took it off the flame. Another helpful hint is to wet your hands when rolling the balls, it's less sticky that way. I would like to try it next time with some mini-chocolate chips mixed in. Thanks, MG, for another great recipe!

I have this recipe written in my child-like scrawl from when I was in elementary school! They were served at school and I asked the cooks for the recipe! Only difference is that mine uses dark Karo (corn) syrup instead of light. Thanks for the delicious memories!

Quite good, and this is a great recipe when the kids just "need" to help you bake! Fast and easy for sure! Enjoy.......

As a WIC employee I am glad this recipe was useful to some one. You can also omit the peanut butter and use a couple of drops of green food coloring and shape them into Xmas wreaths and then decorate with Red Hot candies (as holly berries.)

This is such a quick and easy treat. My family loved it. We thought it tasted like a nut roll and next time I plan to add some salted peanuts.

I was hoping I could find this recipe. When my son was a baby we had gotten this recipe from the WIC office and I lost it during our move. Thanks so much for the variety suggestions too, they would be good for something extra special.
