Okay, folks, let’s dive into something super easy and delicious today: Rice Krispie No-Bake Peanut Butter Cookies. I’ve been craving something sweet and simple, and this totally hit the spot. I’ll walk you through exactly what I did, step by step.
Getting Started
First, I gathered all my ingredients. You know, making sure I had everything before I got my hands dirty. Here’s what I used:
- Rice Krispies cereal (obviously!)
- Peanut butter (I used creamy, but crunchy would be fun too)
- Sugar
- Light corn syrup
- Vanilla extract
- Optional: Chocolate chips or sprinkles for topping
Mixing it Up
I grabbed a big mixing bowl. I decided not use the microwave for melting,and use a saucepan instead.
I added the sugar and corn syrup, gave it a good stir,Cook and stir until sugar is dissolved. I remove from heat.
Then I stirred in peanut butter and vanilla until well combined.
Then, it was time to add the Rice Krispies. I poured them in and gently folded everything together until the cereal was nicely coated. Don’t crush the cereal too much, you want to keep some of that crispy texture!
Shaping and Setting
Next, I lined a baking sheet with some parchment paper. This is key to prevent sticking. I scooped out spoonfuls of the mixture onto the parchment paper. You can make them whatever size you like, but I went for about a tablespoon each.
If you’re feeling fancy, this is where you can add some chocolate chips or sprinkles on top. I pressed them in gently so they’d stick.
Then, the hardest part: waiting! I popped the baking sheet into the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to let the cookies firm up.
Enjoying the Results
Finally, I took the cookies out of the fridge and devoured them. Seriously, they were so good! The perfect combination of sweet, salty, and crunchy. And the best part? They took almost no time to make.
This is definitely going to be a go-to recipe for me when I need a quick and easy treat. Give it a try and let me know what you think!
