Cornflake Chews

I absolutely love this recipe. It is a favorite in our house back home. My mother has been making it for a long time. It's so easy to make, I just made these in less than 10 minutes. I love having one with a glass of milk.

Cornflake Chews

Ingredients:
1 cup light karo syrup
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups peanut butter
4 cups cornflakes

Directions:

Add karo syrup and sugar to a large pot, mix, and bring to a rapid boil. Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter until melted and soft. Add cornflakes and stir until well mixes and flakes are covered. Spoon onto wax paper and let cool until solid. ENJOY!

Peanut Butter Banana Bread




I have made this bread twice now. It's my favorite out of any of the banana breads that I have ever had, and I have had a lot of different kinds. I love the peanut butter touch in this recipe. It's also the most moist banana bread that I have ever had. I also really like to put apple butter on top of it, just adds to the amazing flavor.

Peanut Butter Banana Bread:

Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup peanut butter
2-3 over ripe bananas, mashed
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (I leave these out based on preference)

Directions:

Cream together butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Then add eggs and beat well. Add the remaining ingredients and beat until thoroughly mixed. Pour mix into 5x9in greased loaf pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 70 minutes or until knife comes out clean. (Usually takes about 1.5 hours to bake)
