Butterscotch Cornflake Candy Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butterscotch chips and peanut butter together. Remove from stove and stir in cornflakes. Drop by spoonfuls onto cookie sheets. Chill to harden.

Steps:

• Butter a 13x9-in. pan; set aside. In a heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, water and cream of tartar. Bring to a boil, without stirring, over medium heat until a candy thermometer reads 300° (hard-crack stage). Syrup will turn a golden color. , Remove from the heat; stir in butter and vanilla. Return to heat. Cook and stir until thermometer returns to 300°. Pour into prepared pan. Cool. Break into pieces.

Steps:

• Combine white sugar, brown sugar, and corn syrup in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl and heat until sugars have dissolved, about 1 minute. Stir in peanut butter. Place the cornflakes and peanuts into a large bowl and stir in syrup mixture, mixing well.
• Spray a 9x13 inch pan with cooking spray. Lightly press the corn flake mixture into the pan. Melt the butterscotch chips in the same microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 30 second intervals, stirring after each melting, for 1 to 3 minutes (depending on your microwave). Do not overheat or butterscotch will scorch. Spread over the cornflake mixture. Allow candy to cool, then cut into 1x2 inch bars.

Steps:

• In a large pot, combine brown sugar, corn syrup, water and salt.
• Cook over medium-low heat, stirring, until sugar is dissolved.
• Do not let this come to a boil until sugar has completely dissolved.
• Turn the heat up a bit and continue cooking to the hard ball stage (250F).
• Add butter and stir to keep from scorching.
• Cook until mixture will separate into hard but not brittle strands (270F) when tested in cold water.
• Stir in the vanilla.
• Pour candy in a thin sheet onto a greased slab.
• (I don't have a slab. I turn a large metal baking pan upside down and grease the bottom- works great!).
• Mark into squares while still warm, creasing it deeply.
• Break into pieces as soon as it is cool.

Steps:

• Add the peanut butter and package of butterscotch morsels to large pan over a low/med heat.
• Melt, stirring often.
• Once your mixture is smooth and creamy, turn off heat and add cornflakes. Mix well until all flakes are coated. (you can add additional flakes per your texture preference but I have found this amount works well).
• Place your cookies (I use a pampered chef medium scoop) on wax paper, and let cool.

Steps:

• 1. Pour butterscotch chips into a large microwave-safe bowl and heat in the microwave, checking and stirring every 30 seconds, until chips are melted. It took about a minute and a half in my microwave. Be sure not to cook them for too long, or the butterscotch candy will seize up. If you prefer, you can melt the chips in a double boiler, then scrape the melted butterscotch into a large bowl. 2. Add corn flakes and peanuts to the melted butterscotch and stir until everything is thoroughly coated. Line a counter top with waxed paper and drop spoonfuls of the warm corn flake mixture onto the waxed paper. Allow to cool for 15 minutes. Candy may be stored in an airtight container or large zippered plastic bags for two weeks.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine peanut butter, sugar and corn syrup. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat; stir in cereal. Spread into a greased 13x9-in. pan; press lightly. Let stand until set, about 1 hour.
