Once boiling, pour the mixture over your 6 cups of cornflakes and stir. Don't worry about crunching up some of the cornflakes while stirring.
Press into the bottom of a buttered 9x13 dish and let cool. Once cooled it is time to cut and serve!

Can no-bake peanut butter cornflake treats be frozen?

Thaylorah,
I would just try searching corn syrup alternatives. I have never cooked it with anything other than corn syrup so I can vouch on the outcome/taste.

I make a similar recipe but with butterscotch chips. Those are addictive too. I'm definitely going to give these a try. Thanks for sharing!
Melissa Coleman says
Oh yum! I love butterscotch. I bet that is delicious.
