Hello everyone.

Okay please bear with me as I try to describe what I'm talking about for this recipe......I'll give a bit of history first, just in case someone out there remembers this.

When I was in elementary and middle school in the Northern Delaware area back in the 70's, they used to serve a dessert with lunch. We called it a "peanut butter chew", but I'm not sure there was ever a true name for it. I swear I would buy the hot lunch just to get that thing.

Here's the best way I can describe it from what I can remember....

Peanut Butter flavor, corn flakes?, but they had tiny bits of peanuts in the glaze on the flakes. They were served at room temperature, and chewy and gooey. It was sort of a honey, peanut butter, crunchy, gooey, thingy. And all the flakes were in tact (not broken up) and completely coated throughout. It was served in like a mound shape (but with jagged edges all the way around, because of the flakes, except for the flat bottom,) in cupcake papers. It wasn't like a solid packed mound of peanut butter, that is just the taste that I remember.

Now I've tried and tried to find this recipe, I even found a couple that were pretty close, but the corn flakes, or Frosted Flakes, whatever they were, would always disintegrate when you mix with the glaze part of it. The ones I remember were NEVER like that. They had whole, undamaged flakes in them.

If anyone can help me out, I would love to solve this 35+ year mystery!

Thanks so much in advance for any ideas or opinions of what I'm talking about.
