Description

The peanut butter chews that were sold in school cafeterias. I make these for my kids all the time, and sometimes drizzle chocolate and butterscotch on top of the cookies. Rich, but excellent!

Ingredients

1 cup corn syrup
1 cup white sugar
1 cup creamy peanut butter
4 1/2 cups cornflakes cereal
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup butterscotch chips

Directions

1 Gather all ingredients.
2 In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine corn syrup and white sugar. Bring to a boil, boil for one minute, and remove from heat.
3 Stir in peanut butter until well blended. Mix in cereal until evenly coated.
4 Drop by spoonfuls onto waxed paper.
5 In a glass bowl in the microwave, or using a double boiler, melt chocolate chips and butterscotch chips, stirring frequently until smooth.
6 Drizzle on the top of the cookies.
