Instructions

Prepare the mixture

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, sugar, and peanut butter. Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and the sugar has dissolved, about 3-4 minutes.

Pro tip: Avoid boiling the mixture to prevent it from becoming too hard.

Add vanilla

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.

Combine with corn flakes

Place the corn flakes in a large mixing bowl. Pour the warm peanut butter mixture over the corn flakes.

Pro tip: Use a large spoon or spatula to ensure all corn flakes are evenly coated.

Shape the clusters

Using a tablespoon, drop mounds of the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Pro tip: Work quickly before the mixture cools and hardens.

Cool the clusters

Allow the clusters to cool at room temperature for about 20 minutes or until they are firm.

Pro tip: You can speed up the process by placing them in the fridge.

Store the clusters

Transfer the cooled clusters to an airtight container for storage.

Pro tip: They can be stored at room temperature for up to one week.
