Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup light corn syrup 🍯
  • 1 1/4 cup peanut butter 🥜
  • 1 cup sugar 🍬
  • 1 tsp vanilla 🌿
  • Dash of sea salt 🧂
  • 3 cups rice crispy cereal 🍚
  • 1 cup coarsely chopped pretzels 🥨
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips 🍫
  • Dash of sea salt for topping 🧂

Instructions

  • Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Measure Cereal and Pretzels: Measure the rice crispy cereal and pretzels into a large measuring cup or bowl.
  • Cook Peanut Butter Mixture: In a large pan (about 5 quarts), combine peanut butter, sugar, and corn syrup. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  • Add Vanilla and Salt: Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and a dash of sea salt.
  • Add Cereal and Pretzels: Add the rice crispy cereal and pretzels to the pan. Gently toss until they are coated with the peanut butter mixture.
  • Cool Slightly: Let the mixture cool for 3–5 minutes to prevent the chocolate chips from melting completely (a little melting is fine).
  • Add Chocolate Chips: Quickly stir in the chocolate chips, mixing gently to incorporate.
  • Form Cookies: Scoop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming cookies.
  • Cool and Firm Up: Allow the cookies to cool and firm up before serving.

Notes

  • For an extra crunch, you can add more chopped pretzels or use crunchy peanut butter.
  • Allow the cookies to set for at least 30 minutes before serving for the best texture.
