Ingredients
- 4 1/2 cup Frosted Mini Spooners®
- 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 stick butter unsalted
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp. light corn syrup
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate morsels optional
- 1/4 cup peanut butter chips optional
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan, over medium-low heat, add sugar, and cocoa powder with milk and stir until combines.
- Add butter and corn syrup to the saucepan and stir until combined.
- Mix in peanut butter, and extract and stir until mixture comes to a boil. Remove from heat and set aside for 5 minutes.
- Crush cereal until pieces are broken up into smaller chunks.
- Mix chocolate mixture into the cereal and combine.
- Form cookies using a large spoon. I made mine larger size. They will not be a perfect circle and will look like my images- that is okay.
- Add chips to the tops of the cookies, and gently press in.
- Chill cookies in the refrigerator for at least 45 minutes, but longer is better.
- Once cookies are hardened, remove them from the pan and store them in an air-tight container until you are ready to enjoy them.
