OMG, I found my new favorite broke food! I came across this recipe on pinterest as I was searching for no bake cookies. I tried this last night and they were so delicious, they didn't last long in my house. These goodies only take 5 ingredients: cornflakes, sugar, peanut butter, corn syrup (I used pancake syrup in this instance) and just a hint of vanilla. I say broke food, because they are all cheap ingredients. Google the recipe and try em out! Yum.

That sucks, but that's what holds the cookies together. To good health, though!

peanut butter seems expensive to me. I would love those. This recipe reminds me of the very first thing I learned to cook as a young girl. They were squares with the same ingredients (plus rice krispies mixed in too). They were pressed into a pan and topped with a boiled brown sugar/cream icing. I still make them.

Lol, one of the first recipes I learned to make was marshmallow rice Krispy treats too. Actually here in Utah, a small jar of peanut butter runs abou $1.29, however, dollar tree carries peanut butter too.

@librarygeek1980 Here a kg of peanut butter often costs $6.00. It does go on sale for half that, so I keep my open because I love peanut butter. I usually buy 2kg jars so maybe that is why it seems expensive to me.

I'm pretty sure it would, I have seen it done with golden grahams, though about trying it with crunched up tortilla chips, or popcorn.

@librarygeek1980 lol broke food. Never heard that term before. They do look nice but not sure I would like them. ONLY because of the peanut butter. I love peanut butter but not mixed with anything else. But I would still try these!

Broke food: meaning you're mac and cheese, ketchup sandwiches broke. Lol. These are a gotta try, you can reduce the amount of peanut butter, they have a crispy, chewy texture
