We made about 20 3" cookies. These are great year after year. Kids love 'em - grown-ups love 'em. five stars

These are so yummy, but very messy and practically impossible to shape, so I don't. I press them into an 8x8 pan and sprinkle the red hots on top. Not quite as cute, but SO MUCH EASIER!!!!! four stars

Delicious! I feel like I'm 5 years old again when my sister used to make marshmallow cornflake squares.

Yields about 12 when you keep them around 3 inches in diameter. I squeezed in 10 with this one cause I made them bigger. I wouldn't advise to double the recipe because the corn flakes get hard to stir in when there are a lot of them. Better to make the original recipe more than once to get more. five stars

I loved making these. I made them when I was a child and wanted to share them with my daughter. She wasn't so impressed with the stickiness or the red hots, but I had a good time and I am putting them in tins for gifts! four stars
