Cocoa Krispies Candy

Well....I am finally actually putting my favorite recipe in the world into this blog! My MaMa and PaPa Reid introduced us to this wonderful treat back in the early 60's...yes I said 60's!

It was rarely written down ... just word of mouth... and then it seemed to just fade into the sunset! Just another reason we need to put these family favorites down to be passed along.

With that said, I am REALLY going to share this with you... feel very HONORED.

Cocoa Krispies Candy

• 1/4 Cup granulated sugar
• 
  
• 1/2 Cup light brown sugar
• 
  
• 1/2 Cup of light Karo
• 
  
• 3 Tablespoons of butter (please use butter - it makes it taste so rich)
• 
  
• 1/3 - 1/2 Cup of Peanut Butter ( this is a guesstimate as I use a big dollop right out of the jar!)
• 
  
• 4 - 4 1/2 Cups of Cocoa Krispies

1. USE A HEAVY clad pot......
2. Place the sugars and the Karo in pot and over low heat stir until the mixture bubbles and no longer has any sugar granules. (when spooned it is transparent)
3. Add the butter stirring until completely melted - this will make the syrup appear cloudy
4. Remove from heat and add the Peanut Butter stirring until completely incorporated into the syrup - NOTE: too much Peanut Butter and it will setup TOO quickly and seize in the pot.
5. Add the Cocoa Krispies a cup at a time and stir!
6. NOW quickly (because it sets up pretty quick) spoon into "haystacks" onto wax paper or aluminum foil.
7. Let them cool (if you can wait) and enjoy!
