Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 2 cups creamy peanut butter
- 5 cups Rice Krispies Cereal
- 45 Hershey Kisses, unwrapped
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Place the Rice Krispies Cereal in a large bowl and set aside. Unwrap all Hershey Kisses and set them aside as well for easy assembly.
- Heat Syrup and Sugar: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the light corn syrup and brown sugar. Stir continuously until the mixture comes to a full boil.
- Add Peanut Butter: Once boiling, reduce heat to low. Stir in the creamy peanut butter and remove the saucepan from heat. Continue stirring until the peanut butter is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
- Mix with Cereal: Pour the warm peanut butter mixture over the Rice Krispies in the large bowl. Carefully mix to ensure all cereal is evenly coated.
- Form Cookie Balls: Using a tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop 1 tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and drop them onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Add Hershey Kisses: Press one Hershey Kiss firmly into the center of each cookie ball, pushing it slightly down to secure it.
- Cool and Set: Allow the cookies to cool and set for at least 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy your no-bake Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies!
Notes
- For best results, use creamy peanut butter for a smoother cookie texture.
- Make sure to unwrap all Hershey Kisses before starting to streamline the assembly process.
- Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- You can substitute Rice Krispies with a gluten-free crispy rice cereal if needed to make this recipe gluten-free.
- Press Hershey Kisses gently to avoid breaking the cookie balls.
