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.

You soak the eggs for 24 hours and the vinegar basically  eats the shell off. The real scientific explanation to this the child received was about the chemical reaction occurring as the vinegar reacts with the shell causing it to dissolve and allow the formation of the air bubbles in the vinegar as the gas escapes from the shells, allowing them to thin and just the egg lining or egg membrane to remain. Acetic Acid + Calcium Carbonate = Carbon Dioxide release We also discussed the calcium of the shell being much like the calcium found in a bone of an animal, which is why they are white. His contrasting statement to this is when scientists found dinosaur bones, they were more a dingy whitish brown color than white. We discussed the whi...
