Let’s set the stage…the snow storm is on its way. I have friends coming for dinner. The friend who is bringing dessert can’t make it. I can’t leave my other friends without a sweet treat after dinner so I am heading to the kitchen to find something to make. There is only one problem I am out of eggs and butter. So the things I would typically make are out of the question. So I scrounge through the cabinets to see what I can come up with. I head to the computer to see what I can make with what I have. I come across a recipe for “HolyCrapTheseAreAmazing” Cookies. They sound delicious and I have all of the ingredients. They ended up to be so good and I will definitely make them again and my friends LOVED them.
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup corn syrup
- 1 (18oz) jar peanut butter, creamy
- 6 cups corn flakes
- 3 oz good quality chocolate
Instructions
- Combine sugar and corn syrup in a medium saucepan. Place over medium-high heat and stir until the mixture comes to a full boil. Remove from heat and stir in whole jar of peanut butter. Mix well.
- Add corn flakes to a large bowl. Pour peanut butter mixture over corn flakes and mix well. Make sure to coat all of the corn flakes.
- Scoop out and form 1-2 inch balls and place them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment or wax paper. (makes about 3 dozen)
- Place the chocolate in a small bowl and melt in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Stir until smooth.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cookies.
- Enjoy!
Oh yummy!!! My mom makes these without the chocolate, and we’ve always called them corn flake crunchies! They are addicting…. Now I want to make some!
