Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 5 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 34-36 Hershey’s Kisses candies, unwrapped
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Sheets: Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking and to make cleanup easier.
- Heat Mixture: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine light corn syrup, white sugar, and creamy peanut butter. Stir continuously until the mixture becomes smooth and the sugar has completely dissolved, then remove from heat.
- Mix with Cereal: Pour the warm peanut butter mixture over the Rice Krispies cereal in a large bowl. Stir thoroughly until all the cereal is evenly coated with the peanut butter mixture.
- Form Cookies: Using a small cookie scoop or spoon (about 1 1/2 tablespoons), drop portions of the coated cereal mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them slightly apart.
- Add Hershey’s Kisses: While the cookies are still warm, press an unwrapped Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each cookie to create the signature blossom look.
Notes
- Work quickly when pressing the Hershey’s Kisses into the cookies as the mixture hardens as it cools.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
- For a festive twist, use seasonal or flavored kisses such as peppermint or caramel.
- If the mixture cools too much and becomes difficult to scoop, gently warm it for a few seconds to soften.
