Peanut Butter cookie square recipe....?
When I was younger my granny used to make these peanut butter cookies and I haven't since had anything like them. They weren't like a normal everyday cookie. They were kinda like rice crispy treats, but only with peanut butter and possibly corn flakes...? They weren't hard, and weren't soft and mushy, they were a decent texture, but soft when you bit into them. They had a crunch to them, and it wasn't crunchy peanut butter, it was what I think is maybe corn flakes or something like that. Does anyone know what I'm taking about and if so, would you happen to have a recipe!!!!??? Thanks in advance.
