Corn Flake Cookies

6 c. Corn Flakes
1 c. Corn Syrup
1 c. Sugar
1 c. Peanut butter
1 tsp. Vanilla

Spray a 9 x 13 pan with cooking spray.  Measure corn flakes into a bowl.  In a sauce pan bring the corn syrup and sugar to a boil on in medium high heat and boil on minute.  Turn to low, add in the peanut butter and vanilla.  Stir until the peanut butter has melted.  Pour over corn flakes and stir until the cereal is evenly coated. Pour into the 9 x 13, spray your hand a little with cooking and spray and press cereal evenly in the pan.  Let cool.

Food for Thought:
 Cinderella has to endure her wicked stepmother and evil stepsisters. She is compelled to suffer long hours of servitude and ridicule.

In “Beauty and the Beast,” Belle becomes a captive to a frightful-looking beast in order to save her father. She sacrifices her home and family, all she holds dear, to spend several months in the beast’s castle.

In the tale “Rumpelstiltskin,” a poor miller promises the king that his daughter can spin straw into gold. The king immediately sends for her and locks her in a room with a mound of straw and a spinning wheel. Later in the story she faces the danger of losing her firstborn child unless she can guess the name of the magical creature who helped her in this impossible task.


In each of these stories, Cinderella, Belle, and the miller’s daughter have to experience sadness and trial before they can reach their “happily ever after.” Think about it. Has there ever been a person who did not have to go through his or her own dark valley of temptation, trial, and sorrow?
