Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 cup Light corn syrup
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 6 cups Crispy rice cereal
- 1 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar and light corn syrup.
Stir frequently until the mixture begins to boil and the sugar is fully dissolved, about 3-4 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
In a large mixing bowl, add the crispy rice cereal.
Pour the peanut butter mixture over the crispy rice cereal and gently fold until evenly coated.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, forming mounds.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semisweet chocolate chips in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cookie mounds using a spoon or piping bag.
Allow the cookies to cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or refrigerate for 15 minutes if you prefer a firmer texture.
Serve and enjoy your crispy rice drop cookies!
