This quick and simple dip is delicious and tastes a lot like the street corn that cart vendors sell in Mexico. excellent when accompanied with Fritos® or corn chips.

I’ve been looking for a recipe that I lost. These are very similar. I give it 5 star because it gave me the base of what I was looking for. I’m writing this so I don’t forget how I did it. 3/4 C brown sugar 3/4 C lite corn syrup 1/4 C butter 2 C corn flakes 1/4 C peanut butter My husband LOVED them. But, since I can take or leave Peanut Butter, I will leave it out next time.
I made a few slight changes. I used agave instead of corn syrup and 1 cup peanut butter. Instead of sesame seeds I used chopped dates (my family loves peanut butter and dates 🙂 They turned out great! Kind of a cross between a crunchy cookie and peanut butter fudge.
Really simple. Peanut buttery and sweet and crunchy…what’s not to like? As easy as Rice Krispie treats, but something a little different.
I made these and let my neighborhood sample them and rate them with me. These were a big hit with the adults and the kids. I wish they didn’t get so soggy from the corn syrup and would still hold a bit more of a crunch. Next time I make them I am going to add more corn flakes to make that happen.
I have a similar recipe to these “yummies” as we all them. Heat to disolve:1C sugar, 1C corn syrup. Remove from heat, stir in 1C creamy peanut butter. Pour mixture over 5-6C cornflakes, stir. Drop on wax paper. I made these last week, and they were gone in 2 days!
Everyone loves this in my house…I add a little more cornflakes becuase there is a lot of the PB mixture!
they were kind of messy and sticky to clean up..but they were very good!!
This recipe turned out delicious but I substituted sesame tahini (sesami butter) instead of peanut butter I also added more sugar since tahini is not sweetened. My only problem was getting the candy to stick together, I think I will just serve it over ice cream…
