Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 5 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 34–36 Hershey’s kiss candies, unwrapped
Binding Ingredients:
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1/2 cup white sugar
Instructions
- Prepare two baking sheets with parchment paper to create a clean workspace for assembling the treats.
- Combine corn syrup, peanut butter, and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring continuously until the mixture becomes smooth and sugar completely dissolves.
- Remove the heated mixture from the stove and immediately pour over Rice Krispies cereal in a large mixing bowl, gently folding until every cereal piece is thoroughly coated.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, carefully transfer small mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, maintaining consistent size and shape.
- While the cookies are still warm, delicately press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie, creating a classic blossoms appearance.
- Allow the no-bake cookies to rest at room temperature for approximately 15-20 minutes, giving them time to cool and solidify their structure.
- Once completely set, transfer the cookies to a serving plate or store in an airtight container to maintain their crisp texture and prevent sticking.
Notes
- Prevent sticking by using non-stick parchment paper or silicone baking mats for easy cookie removal.
- Adjust sweetness by selecting different types of peanut butter, such as natural or reduced-sugar varieties for health-conscious individuals.
- Work quickly when pressing chocolate kisses into cookies while mixture is still warm to ensure proper chocolate melting and cookie structure.
- For gluten-free option, verify Rice Krispies are certified gluten-free, as some brands might contain wheat derivatives.
