No Bake Holiday Butterscotch Cornflake Crunchies

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!! As much as I LOVE the holiday season, I will never EVER get used to being all decked out for the holidays BEFORE Thanksgiving. I swear Christmas starts earlier and earlier every year in the blogging world. This year I was spotting posts before Halloween! I refuse to be that person, then again I said I would never ever post anything before Thanksgiving, yet here I am on what feels like Christmas post number 728 on November 20th... ahhhhh.... the things we do to stay relevant lol...

Todays recipe is a family favorite! I hated peanut butter as a child. Refused to even tough the stuff! My grandmas neighbor would make these No Bake Holiday Butterscotch Cornflake Crunchies every year when we would come up to visit & I wouldn’t touch the things. Then one year when I was around 11-12 years old, my Dad made a bet with me. He would give me $10 if I tried a No Bake Holiday Butterscotch Cornflake Crunchies and didn’t like it. So I obviously took a bite expecting to want to puke instantly. Boy was I wrong. I tried to fake it. I really really did! I wanted that $10!!! But I have always sucked st lying. I lost $10 that afternoon, but gained an obsession with No Bake Holiday Butterscotch Cornflake Crunchies and have been making them for my own family these days! Enjoy!
