Servings
Ingredients
- 1⅔ cups one 11 oz bag butterscotch flavored morsels
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 5½ cups corn flakes cereal
Instructions
Prepare Baking Sheets:
- Line one or two baking sheets with waxed paper or parchment paper. Set aside for later use.
Melt Butterscotch Morsels:
- In a large microwave-safe mixing bowl, place the butterscotch morsels. Heat uncovered in the microwave on medium-high power for approximately 1 minute. Stir until the morsels begin to melt. If needed, continue microwaving in 15-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth.
Incorporate Peanut Butter:
- Add the creamy peanut butter to the melted butterscotch and stir until fully blended and smooth.
Add Corn Flakes:
- Gently fold in the corn flakes, stirring carefully to evenly coat all flakes without crushing them excessively.
Form the Drops:
- Using a rounded tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets. Allow space between each drop.
Chill to Set:
- Refrigerate the drops for approximately 20 minutes, or until they are firm to the touch.
Store Properly:
- Once set, transfer the drops to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Notes
To make this recipe gluten-free, ensure that the corn flakes cereal used is certified gluten-free, as many traditional brands may contain malt flavoring derived from barley. Additionally, confirm that both the butterscotch morsels and peanut butter are labeled gluten-free to avoid cross-contamination or hidden sources of gluten. No other modifications are required.
