Ingredients
- 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
Step-by-step Directions
1. Prepare Baking Sheet
Begin by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy release and clean-up of the cookies after they set.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients
Combine the rice crispy cereal and chopped pretzels in a large measuring cup or bowl, setting them aside for later use.
3. Cook Peanut Butter Mixture
In a large 5-quart pan, mix together the peanut butter, sugar, and corn syrup. Heat the mixture over medium while stirring occasionally. Continue until it is smooth and creamy.
4. Add Vanilla and Salt
Once the peanut butter mixture is smooth, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla and a dash of sea salt.
5. Combine with Dry Ingredients
Fold the cereal and pretzels into the peanut butter mixture, making sure that they’re thoroughly coated.
6. Cool the Mixture
Allow the mixture to cool for about 35 minutes to prevent the chocolate chips from melting too much when added.
7. Add Chocolate Chips
Gently mix in the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
8. Form Cookies
Using a scoop or spoon, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
9. Set and Serve
Allow the cookies to cool and set completely on the baking sheet before serving to achieve the perfect texture and consistency.
