Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 cups Rice cereal For texture
  • 1 cup Chocolate chips Use high-quality chocolate for better flavor
  • 1 cup Caramel candies Melted
  • 1/2 cup Peanut butter Creamy
Optional Add-Ins
  • 1 teaspoon Sea salt For salted caramel flavor
  • 1/2 cup Chopped nuts Optional
  • 1/2 cup Mini marshmallows Optional
  • 1/4 cup White chocolate drizzle For decoration

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Melt the caramel candies in a microwave-safe bowl with a small splash of milk or water, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring until smooth.
  2. In a separate bowl, melt the chocolate chips and peanut butter together until fully smooth and creamy.
  3. Combine the melted caramel with the chocolate mixture and stir until glossy and well blended.
  4. Add the rice cereal and gently fold until evenly coated.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a parchment-lined tray and shape into cookie rounds.
  6. Let the cookies set at room temperature or refrigerate for 15–20 minutes until firm.

Notes

Stir frequently while melting to avoid burning. Don’t crush the cereal to keep the crunch. Let cookies fully set before serving. Customize by adding chopped peanuts, pecans, or crushed pretzels.
