A Fun Take on Chocolate Chip Cookies - Krispies!
I was looking for a new cookie to make. Knowing that my family loves Chocolate Chip Cookies I started my search there. Then I stumbled upon these cookies with Rice Krispies and a Chocolate Rice Bar. Sounds good, right?
Well, they were! Think about your favorite traditional chocolate chip cookie with a fun surprise - the crunch of the Rice Krispies! Using a chocolate bar instead of chips was also a fun twist.
Even better, these are so easy that I made them with my 2 year old! Baby girl and I had so much fun making them, too! She kept stealing little bits of chocolate and even grabbed a bit of cookie dough before I could stop her. At one point she blew on the bowl of flour and was so surprised when it flew all over her face - I wish I had my camera ready for that moment!
These cookies were so good! I think I'll even make them again for Christmas.
