I’m obsessed with Cornflakes, so indirectly, I’m obsessed with these no-bake peanut butter cornflake cookies. They have just the perfect amount of crunch without being too hard.
They also have a slight saltiness to them which makes them extremely addictive if we’re completely honest. I pretty much have handfuls of this cereal whenever it’s at the house because to me it tastes like a combination of crackers and cereal with hints of saltiness for my salt-addicted self.

Why are my no bake cornflakes marshmallow cookies not gooey?
This can depend on a few things.
If you overcook the peanut butter marshmallow mixture it will almost caramelize and harden as it cools down, so make sure to melt it low and slow.
The next issue could be that it’s just too cold where you’re at. The solution to this would be to pop them in the microwave for 5 seconds and enjoy them.
