Questions & Replies

  1. Would this recipe work if I omitted the 1 cup sugar and used Frosted Flakes instead of corn flakes?

  1. Great recipe when you have a lot of extra cereal lying around, even if it isn't all cornflakes. Very simple to make, and you don't even have to heat up the kitchen. Sometimes I even top them with a mixture of melted semisweet, butterscotch and vanilla chips, mixed with a drop of vanilla and orange extracts (just an extra touch, but a nice chocolate kick to these treats).
     
  2. Delicious! I used Grape Nuts Flakes instead of cornflakes. Next time I'm going to add some peanuts.
     
  3. These were so easy that it seemed like cheating. My daughter had 2 friends visiting and they both asked for the recipe.
     
  4. We made these cookies in Girl Scouts when we were kids. They were called Clue Cookies. I was looking for this exact recipe. Thanks.
     
  5. Love this! So quick and easy and works with just about any not frosted cereal or a mix of different cereals. We like to use corn flakes, kix, cheerios, rice crispies, wheaties, all bran, bran flakes, etc. I use brown sugar instead of white and honey and/or maple syrup instead of corn syrup.
