No-Bake Stovetop Peanut Butter Special K Cookies

Printer-friendly version

In a medium sauce pan I added 1 cup of sugar, 1 cup of white corn syrup (actually only 75% was white, I ran out and topped it off with some regular corn syrup), 1 tsp of vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. I brought it to a boil and then turned down the heat a little.

Carefully add 1 1/3 cup of peanut butter. Stir to melt into the mixture

Add four cups of Special K cereal and stir to combine.

At the last second I decided I wanted a hint of chocolate so I threw in a handful of chocolate chips and stirred until just melted.

Acting quickly, I got out my ice cream scoop that I greased ahead of time and scooped out the cookies onto parchment paper. Again, be very careful! Let cool.

My scoop was quite large so the cookies were on the verge of being too big. Next time I would use a smaller scoop.
