I was going to post my recipe for "Cornflake Things" but I did a search first, and found your recipe. Mine is made the same way, but I spread it in a 10 by 13 inch buttered pan and let it cool. Then I melt 1 cup chocolate chips and 1 cup butterscotch chips, and spread over the top. Once the topping is set, cut into small bars. NOTE: DO NOT BOIL THIS! One time I let the mixture actually boil for a few minutes, rather than removing it from the heat as soon as came to a boil. Nobody broke any teeth on the results, but it wouldn't have surprised me if someone had. They were like ROCKS!

My daughter Adiya is still forming the balls as I write this, but I've already had a taste and I can just tell from that first Mmmmmmmmmmmm that this is something that is going to be made again, and made often. This is incredibly simple, and delicious, well worth the, oh, let me see, 5 minutes out of your life that it takes to actually make these babies. It actually takes a little longer, as you lovingly form the balls, but my 11 year old daughter did it all by herself. If you deal with the boiling part and get a little helper to deal with the ball rolling, you've got it made. A great project to do with your kids. I took what ThatBobbieGirl said seriously and was scared to let the mixture boil. It was just starting to bubble around the edges when I took it off the flame. Another helpful hint is to wet your hands when rolling the balls, it's less sticky that way. I would like to try it next time with some mini-chocolate chips mixed in. Thanks, MG, for another great recipe!
