These are the quickest cookies you'll make. They are completely oven and mixer free, and so so good! The first step is to place about 1 cup of light corn syrup and 1 cup brown sugar in a saucepan. You want to heat this on medium heat until all the sugar is dissolved in the syrup, and it's at a rolling boil. You will see the texture go from grainy to smooth, that is super important to the texture that all the sugar dissolves.
After you have a smooth sugar-syrup mixture take your small saucepan off the heat. At this point I added a HEAPING cup of peanut butter (if I'm being honest it was more like 1 1/2 cups of peanut butter) and about 1 1/2 tsp of vanilla. Stir this until it's all one mixture (I am totally not opposed to adding chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, marshmallows anything that will melt into the mixture and be delicious).
In a separate bowl measure out about 4 cups of Rice Krispie cereal, then pour the liquid mixture into the cereal. Fold this in with a rubber spatula, this will keep the cereal from crushing and becoming dust. After carefully folding it all in you should have all the cereal completely coated in the liquid-ish mixture.
Using a large spoon I spoon about about a tablespoon of the yummy cookie mixture onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment or wax paper. After you've spooned it all out add a Hershey's kiss in the middle (you could totally add something different like: mini Reese's peanut butter cups, caramels, rolos, Twix, crushed salted peanuts, mini snickers, really the options are endless). These are so addictive, and you CANNOT go wrong. Let these set up for about 10 minutes and they are ready to go, you won't find an easier cookie to make!
So there you go, my Super Sweet, Summer Treat, No Heat, Scotcha Blossoms, delicious, indulgent, and oh so yummy! Tell me what you guys think, and what combination you try out!
