Introduced to me (and named) by my sister, this is a great snack and a hurry up treat for anytime. It is hard to stop eating it. We have been known to eat it out of the bowl, just like sharing popcorn at the movies.
Peanut Butter Goop
1/2 c. peanut butter
1/2 c. corn syrup
1/2 c. sugar
about 6 c. corn flakes or other cereal
Combine the peanut butter, corn syrup and sugar in a microwave safe container. Heat in the microwave on high for 2 min. Stir, and heat for about 2 more minutes. You are watching for the mixture to boil and the sugar to dissolve. Add corn flakes and stir to coat. Pour onto greased cookie sheet and pat out. Cut into squares.
Notes: Cheerios are a good substitute for the corn flakes. You can make this recipe as big or small as you like, just keep the amounts of the first three ingredients equal in proportion to each other.

I make this often - we use cheerios and call it "Cheerio thingys" Yes, the Hopes are so orginial and gramtically correct! In college I had a roomate who called it poop - she ate it anyway!
