Stirring constantly, continue cooking over medium heat to 234\u00b0 (soft ball in cold water) or about 10 minutes after mixture comes to a full boil.
Remove from heat.
Gradually pour over corn flake mixture, stirring to coat well.
Stir gently so as not to break corn flakes any more than necessary.
Drop by teaspoon onto greased baking sheet, shaping into mounds lightly with fingers and allow to set.
