Cornflake No-Bake Peanut Butter Cookies

These are one of my favorite cookies. They're quick, easy, and great for summer months when you don't want to turn on the oven.

1/2 C sugar
1/2 C honey or light corn syrup
1/2 C peanut butter
31/2 C plain cornflakes

Mix sugar and honey in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir until sugar disolves. Add peanut butter and mix until creamy. Remove from heat and add cornflakes. Stir until coated. Drop by spoonful onto wax or parchment paper. Allow to cool.

Impatient? Put them in the fridge! :)

For a holiday twist add green food coloring before adding the corn flakes. Shape into wreaths. Decorate with red hots.
