Oh My. Yes. These are everything promised and more. When I saw these on Sticky, Gooey, Creamy, Chewy’s blog I knew I needed to make these. and soon.
They totally deserve the name she gave them “holycraptheseareamazing cookies”. My chocolate didn't drizzle as nicely as hers did, but I had a 5 year old helping me.

I’m taking these to a meeting tonight – I’ll let you know what sort of reactions these elicit. I loved them, the kids love them, my neighbor loved them. Love, love, love them.

Add corn flakes to a large bowl. Pour peanut butter mixture over corn flakes and mix well, taking care to coat all of the corn flakes. (I added this in small batches and mixed used the "salad tongs" method - it seemed to work really well to mix everything up without smashing the flakes to smithereeniees)
...
With a tablespoon or cookie scoop, scoop out and form into 1-2 inch balls, depending on your preference, and place them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment or wax paper.
...
Put the chocolate in a small bowl and melt in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Stir until smooth.

They seem more like a confection than a cookie but that's not a bad thing in my books!
ReplyDeleteBecause of the cereal and peanut butter, would they qualify as breakfast food?
I am sold just by your title alone! I think your 5 year old did a fantastic job with the chocolate. Were there any left after your meeting? These wouldn't last long in my home!

I went to Indiana Univ for grad school, and these cookies (or Special K Chewies, as they call them) are the best seller on campus. They have them at all the campus diners and coffee stores. Oh, the memories...
ReplyDeleteI HAVE to try these! They are calling my name. ;)
