Mine turned out the same way - sticky and very difficult to remove from either foil or wax paper. I should've tried the greased cookie sheet, but it's done now. They are alright, not my favorite, but easy to make.

My guess is that you used corn/veggie oil. Make sure you use corn SYRUP not corn or any other kind of oil. Oil will make it sticky and runny. Easy to make and turn out good!

These are a favorite of my husbands. My mother-in-law always made them, but without a recipe. We have not had them since she passed away. It brings back warm memories to make them myself. Thank you for the recipe.
Merry Christmas!!!

This is very easy to make and a delicious treat. Would not recommend the wax paper though, it got stuck to almost every piece. Try a slightly greased cookie sheet instead. It's a perfect snack and goes great with a cold glass of milk!

This recipe is awesome! Very easy to make and not alot of mess. Peanut butter comes out of the measuring cup easier if you use it for the corn syrup first! I doubled it (using the full 8 cups of flakes) and still had to add about 3/4 cup extra corn flakes and I also used real butter instead of margarine. Very good!!

I make these as a bar cookie and top with a mixture of semi-sweet chocolate chips and butterscotch chips. This is a long time family favorite!

These candies are a classic to me! I've been making them with my mom since I was a kid. It was actually the first recipe that I learned because it was so easy and very delicious! Definitely reccomend for moms teaching their youngin's fun in the kitchen.

I made these last year for a cookies exchange! Everybody loved them. Make sure you let them harden before you try to remove them!
