Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup light Karo corn syrup
  • 1 cup peanut butter*
  • 4 cups Special K Cereal or Corn Flakes Cereal**
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

  • In a large saucepan, bring sugar and syrup to a boil over medium heat. Do not over cook.
  • Take the pan off the burner and blend in peanut butter. Once smooth, stir in cereal and vanilla.
  • Once cereal is fully coated, use a spoon to drop the cookies onto parchment or wax paper to cool.
  • Once completely cool, store in an airtight container at room temperature for about a week.

Notes

*I don't recommend using a natural peanut butter or one that's runny. I like to use Jif or Skippy peanut butter.
**We really love Special K cereal for these cookies! Corn Flakes are less puffy, so if you use that variety of cereal, increase the amount to 6 cups.
