Cornflake chew bars

Here is fast way to recycle a lot of cornflakes. These bars are very sweet and could be classed as 'survival food' for intergalactic travel or holidays in Nepal, Skye and Northumberland.
The ingredients are warmed together and mixed with cornflakes. Don't bubble the sugar or the result will be brittle enough to require dentistry.

Ingredients
300g or 6 cups of cornflakes (£0.60)
230g or 1 cup of sugar (£0.20)
300g of golden syrup (£0.57)
1 tablespoon of butter (£0.10)
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (£0.10)
1 jar of peanut butter 340g (£1.16)
Recipe cost £2.72 for 1200g; £2.25 a kilo or £0.12 per slice

Method
Measure the cornflakes
Microwave the sugar and syrup in a large bowl for 1-2 minutes. Remove and stir or reheat to dissolve. Don't overheat or you'll make toffee instead. Soon add the peanut butter; mix and then stir in the cornflakes before it cools. 
Tip into a 9 x 13inch tray; press down and cut into 24 pieces.
