Making Cornflake Candy

My husband loves this stuff...his Nana made it for him. Of course, this is not what she called it, but it is what it is...  :) 
 
So easy peasy - 1 cup of corn syrup, 1 cup of sugar, 1 cup of peanut butter, 6 cups of corn flakes...flakes of sweet goodness...lots and lots of calories. :)
 
 Heat the sugar and syrup together and mix well. When this comes to a slow boil, mix in the peanut butter. Stir well.
 
 
 While the mixture is hot, mix in the corn
flakes.
 
 
 
 
 Turn the candy out into small pieces by the spoonful onto wax paper to cool. After it is cooled, store in an airtight container.

The wick was supposed to be any type of fibrous natural substance. You are supposed to be able to use any type of oil or fat. We tried first to use plant fibers and some yarn... We tried Canola Oil first, because I had some in the cabinet that I wanted to get rid of... We filled the shell with the canola oil...I did steady it using a box lid from a jewelry gift bo...
