Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups cornflakes cereal
- 1 cup rice krispies cereal
- ½ cup unsweetened coconut
Wet Ingredients
- 11 oz bag caramels, unwrapped
- 3 tablespoons milk
Toppings (Optional)
- Halloween sprinkles
- M&Ms
Instructions
- Prep the cereal mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of cornflakes, 1 cup of rice krispies, and ½ cup of unsweetened coconut. Mix these dry ingredients thoroughly and set aside while you prepare the caramel.
- Make the caramel sauce: In a medium saucepan, add the unwrapped caramels and 3 tablespoons of milk. Heat on low, stirring frequently for about 20 minutes until the caramels have completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove the saucepan from heat to avoid burning.
- Combine caramel and cereal: Pour the warm caramel sauce over the cereal and coconut mixture. Immediately stir well to coat every bit of cereal evenly with the caramel.
- Shape the cookies: Using a medium cookie scoop, portion out about 1.5 tablespoons of the sticky mixture onto parchment or wax paper. If desired, sprinkle Halloween-themed sprinkles on top and press a few M&Ms into each cookie for decoration.
- Set the cookies: Let the cookies cool until set. To speed up this process, you can place them in the refrigerator. Once firm, they are ready to serve and enjoy.
