Peanut Butter Cornflake Clusters Dessert
This recipe offers a delightful blend of crunchy cornflakes and creamy peanut butter, forming bite-sized clusters that are quick to make and even quicker to enjoy.
A little while back, I was on a mission to use up some food in my pantry before a big move.
I wasn’t sure what to do with a whole box of unopened cornflakes. I knew I could use them for Cornflake Crusted Chicken, but I’d still have a ton left to deal with.
We are dealing with a chewy, delicious candy bar-like dessert. The recipe makes a ton of cookies and only has a few ingredients. My family loved them, and I bet your family will, too. Ready for the recipe?

I really appreciate those recipe you shared in here..Hope you can share a lot..
We made these when we were kids and the recipe we used was called Jean’s Clusters. I have no idea why it was called that but wow, were they good! Thanks for the walk down memory lane 🙂
I’m going to make these with my granddaughter. Thanks!!!
Just one small gripe: Your ‘print’ button is obscured by a big ol’ Pin It button that pops over it when you try to click to print it.
We have always made these at holidays since I was little. I am now passing the tradition on with my kids
These look scrumptious!
Glad you like them, Emily!
These look amazing! Can the corn syrup be replaced with something? Thanks
I made these with Honey Bunches of Oats. OMG SO good!!!
Only had a half cup light corn syrup, but decided to use honey to make a cup! It was a great substitute. And I’m a chunky PB fan, so loved the nuttiness.
Yum!
