Cereal Munchie
I had a recipe that used corn flakes, peanuts, and coconut. There might have been different cereals like Post Toasties, life, or something else -- not sure. This was then mixed into a cooked syrup. Does this sound familiar to anyone and do you have the recipe? Thanks for any help.

The only recipe I have that is similar is called Puppy Chow....
1/2 c (smooth) peanut butter
1/4 c butter
microwave for 1 min. on high
mix above with
1 c chocolate chips
1/2 tsp vanilla
9 c Crispix cereal
Toss all in a paper grocery bag (or other large vessel you have) and cover with
1 1/2 c powdered sugar
Shake to mix
Around here it's usually gone in about 30 minutes!

Here is the recipe that came to my mind when I read your post. However, it does not include peanuts or coconut. I think it sounds like a great addition so I may have to try that the next time I make them!
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup peanut butter
3 cups cornflakes cereal
DIRECTIONS:
1. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. Bring the sugar and corn syrup to a boil in a saucepan over medium heat; stir in butter and peanut butter until thoroughly mixed, and remove from heat.
2. Place the corn flakes into a large bowl, and pour the peanut butter mixture over the cereal. Mix until the corn flakes are coated with the mixture. Drop by tablespoon onto the waxed paper; flatten slightly if desired. Allow to cool before serving.

Thanks. I used to have this recipe years ago and lost it. Have wished for a long time that I could find it. I love this recipe.

This sounds like the recipe I use. One recipe said to boil the sugar and corn syrup for a minute or two. THAT DID NOT WORK!! It's ready after it comes to a full boil.
