You know we love a good, old-fashioned no-bake cookie, but instead of using rolled oats in today’s no-bake recipe, we swapped a different breakfast cereal and a popular snack item into the ingredient list. No oats to be seen here, just rice crispies and pretzels and chocolate chips, all bound together by a tasty sea salt vanilla sugar mixture. Sounds pretty good, right?? It is!
INGREDIENTS
3 cups rice crispy cereal
1 cup pretzels, crushed
1 cup light corn syrup
1 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon sea salt, plus more for garnish
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
PREPARATION
Line 1-2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine corn syrup, peanut butter, and white and brown sugar, and whisk together until smooth and creamy. 3-5 minutes.
Remove mixture from heat and stir in vanilla extract and 1/8 teaspoon sea salt, then stir in pretzels and rice krispies, tossing until everything is evenly coated.
Let mixture cool for 2-4 minutes, then stir in chocolate chips until incorporated. Use a 1-tablespoon scoop or spoon to drop cookie mixture onto lined baking sheets, topping with seas salt, if desired, then refrigerate until set.
