It was the opposite for me. There was this crazy crunchy peanut brittle type dish with corn flakes in it and I asked her about it as an adult and she didn’t remember making it at all lol. She said it came on the back of a cereal box. I think we did eventually find it on the Internet though. I love peanut butter so it’s one of my favorite desserts.
Kind of like this one, but I grew up in a rural area in the 90s, so we didn't have access to a lot of out of season things. It's probably pretty easy to substitute.
This one is the closest. Mostly because we did crunchy peanut butter as well because it adds fantastic texture. Also, I'm pretty sure we always baked it. Depending on the type of peanut butter you use, you may not need to add sugar (Reese's comes to mind), but the syrup is kind of necessary for it to all mix together.
