Peanut Butter Globs

Peanut Butter Globs

Because even I have to admit that corn syrup and peanut butter can be really wonderful...

½ cup karo
¾ cup peanut butter
½ cup sugar
2 heaping cups corn flakes

Boil sugar and karo. Add peanut butter, mix well and add corn flakes. Drop on cookie sheet or wax paper.

Bird Nest Cookies

Bird Nest Cookies

3 cups rice crispies
1 cup shredded coconut
1/3 cup light corn syrup
½ cup brown sugar
¾ cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
Jelly beans, m&ms, or some other egg-shaped candy

Bring the corn syrup, brown sugar, peanut butter and vanilla to a boil. Remove from heat and add the coconut and rice crispies. Roll into little balls, and then press a little dent into the center to make it nest-shaped. Put a few little candies in the middle to be the eggs. Almond m&ms are tasty (in general, but in this case specifically the cookies).

...from Ranger Rick magazine circa sometime in the late 1980s.
