Generously grease a jelly roll pan (12½ x 17½ by 1 inch).

In a large bowl combine the corn flakes, rice krispies, and peanuts. Stir to mix.

In a saucepan add the sugar, corn syrup, and butter. Bring to a boil and boil for 1 minute.

While the sugar mixture is coming to a boil, measure peanut butter in a greased measuring cup. Stir the peanut butter and the vanilla into the sugar mixture after it has boiled for 1 minute. Mix until evenly distributed. Pour the hot mixture over the cereal and stir with a spatula until the sauce is distributed amongst the cereal and nuts.

Pour the mixture into the greased pan and pat with a spatula until it fills the pan. Best served at room temperature.
