Rich, melt in your mouth texture. Creamy with a crunchy topping for texture. A new twist for Thanksgiving.

TIP: If you used frosted corn flakes, you can omit the white AND brown sugars, and the topping will be just as delicious!

I am in trouble if I do not make this every Thanksgiving. The only thing I change is white sugar for brown sugar, that's the way the family likes it.

Not sure what happened but I was not as pleased with this recipe as the others who commented. The cornflakes were chewy instead of the crunchy that I expected. I will make it again with a different topping.

A little too much sugar and butter for me, but everyone who tasted it really enjoyed it!
