We always had fun making our ornaments. Over the years, however, ornament making morphed into cookie making. I made chocolate truffles and my sister made cornflake clusters. Both were received with excitement and devoured usually within 24 hours. No one seemed to miss the ornaments very much. I can’t say I blame them. My sister’s cornflake clusters were especially good. I’m not sure where our mother found the recipe, but it has held up over the years. Although we don’t make Christmas cookies anymore, we often come with a few batches of cornflake clusters anyway. We aim to please. The traditional recipe calls for butterscotch chips and peanut butter, melted and mixed with cornflakes, but since I’m on a serious Nutella obsessed-kick at the moment, I thought, let’s try it as a butterscotch substitute with Nutella peanut butter. It makes for a more gooey cluster, but is just as deliciously addicting as the original. About the author: Sarah is the writer of a new and perfectly cute blog called The Chubbette.
