How to Make No-Bake Cookies
Start by melting the caramel candies in a microwave-safe bowl. Add a small splash of milk or water and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring each time until smooth.
In a separate bowl, melt the chocolate chips and peanut butter together until fully smooth and creamy.
Combine the melted caramel with the chocolate mixture and stir until glossy and well blended.
Add the rice cereal and gently fold until everything is evenly coated.
Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a parchment-lined tray and shape into cookie rounds.
Let the cookies set at room temperature or refrigerate for 15–20 minutes until firm.
Tips for Best Results
– Stir frequently while melting to avoid burning
