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.

I've never eaten peanut butter in my life. Can you imagine? I grew up in the GDR (German Democratic Republic). after WW2. There was no peanut butter. There were no peanuts. There rarely was butter.
Later, after moving to West Germany, I didn't have the urge to try it because I didn't know it. And now I'm not interested anymore.

Wow, I did not know that! I think peanut butter is more of an American staple thing. To be frank, I am not much into peanut butter either (due to eating way too many peanut butter sandwiches as a kid we were that broke then too) but I do enjoy peanut butter in other things.

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

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.

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.

@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.

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 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
