Today is the day where the mister comes home from a week’s worth of work!! To say I’m excited is a bit of an understatement. I don’t know what you ladies out there are like when your husband is gone, but let’s just say, this week wasn’t my proudest week. I kept thinking, “I really need to clean the house.” And then I’d think, “But Zachary won’t be home for a few more days…” and I’d continue with just one more episode of ‘Parenthood’ or something of the sort. Let’s just say that the resulting disaster of a house is a little overwhelming and I’ve got a lot on my plate today. š
I’m sure some of you can relate to having to do a million things in one day, which is why I thought it was fitting to share this recipe. It is probably one of the easiest recipes on this blog to date. It only has four ingredients and takes minutes to put together. I present to you, Gooey Corn Flake Crispies!
They’re a lot like rice krispies, but don’t ask me why – they taste a million times better. I don’t know if it’s the added crunchiness or what, but I like them way better than rice krispies!
Makes 12-14 Crispies
Ingredients:
- 35 regular size marshmallows
- 1/2 cup {1 stick} butter, salted
- 2 tsp. vanilla
- 4 & 1/2 cups corn flakes
Directions:
- Melt butter and marshmallows together in a large pot until only a few lumps of marshmallows remain. {Don’t cook it much longer or your resulting Crispies will set up hard.}
- Remove from heat and add vanilla; mix well.
- Stir in corn flakes and mix until all the flakes are coated.
- Drop by spoonfuls onto wax paper and let cool.
I first tried these out on my Sunday School kids to see if they liked them and by the time they were done eating them, they were all asking me to write down the recipe, so their parents could make them at home. I’d say it was a success! Enjoy.

If you like peanut butter, 1/4 – 1/2 cup of peanut butter added to the mix is phenomenal!! Mom always added the peanut butter when we were growing up…so good!!

I made this tonight but didn’t have any vanilla extract so I used substituted almond extract. It was delicious! (: Thanks a bunch for the recipe!
How many packages of marshmallows comprise 35 regular size? I’d like to know before going shopping. Can’t keep any extras around the house with diabetics afoot.
Iām very interested in some sugar free desserts. Such as candies and cookies like these, because of diet controlled diabetes, type 2. Pies and fruit salads that are sugar free too.
I had some pumpkin pie frosted flakes in a enormous box only i would eat and 5 bags of gingerbread marshmallows bought for smores at our for our yearly 100 person take over of cabins reunion thats up in the air soooo I thought hmmm..and found this recipe to adapt..Iagree about the crispy part!
What if you use an entire bag of marshmallows do the ingredients change
What if I would put in red food coloring and a Hershey kiss in middle for Valentine’s Day?
