A 1980s elementary school classic

1-1.5 cups skippy creamy peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
5-6 cups corn flakes (depends on how much pb you use)

Put corn flakes in large mixing bowl, preferably something non stick. I use glass. Prepare cookie sheet with parchment paper. Measure out peanut butter and set to the side. Heat sugar and corn syrup in small pot on low-medium low heat. Stir constantly until you reach a slow rolling boil. Boil 2 minutes. Do not over cook or turn heat too high. Remove from heat, stir in peanut butter. Pour mixture over corn flakes and stir until well mixed. Pour onto cookie sheet and flatten with spoon or spatula. Work quickly after taking off heat, it sets up quickly. You can break apart after cool or leave on pan and let people help themselves. Easily can be doubled.

Never went home with any of these leftover. Even in a house of 2 they’re lucky to last 24 hours.

Yummy! Sadly, this is a school team and we are prohibited from serving anything with nuts/peanut butter, even after hours.

Oh no! I highly recommend a batch for yourself then.

You can make anything into a krispy treat -- instead of rice krispies, used crushed oreos, or other kind of cereal. You can make quite a few kinds and it's still pretty easy and it won't melt.

Wow! I cannot make for this event - the host would crown me if I brought a cherry dish, but this is a must make - TY for sharing!

Oh you’re welcome! She also has an apple version that I make at least once every autumn.

Buy crescent rolls. Roll up a bite size Milky Way in each triangle. Bake. Let cool. Add powdered sugar on outside. Tasty

Just bring cookies. Seriously. It is outside, it is hot, it is a sports team and the kids are the one who eat most of the dessert and they don't really care for anything fancy.

Extra frosting! Skip the fruit!

Keep it simple. Rice Krispie treats, brownies, cookies.

Pack a cooler with ice and bring an ice cream sundae bar. Kids love those.
