Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ tablespoons light corn syrup
  • 1 ½ tablespoons creamy peanut butter
  • ½ cup crispy rice cereal*
  • 2 tablespoons butterscotch chips
  • 2 tablespoons milk chocolate chips

Instructions

  • In a 12-ounce microwave-safe mug, combine granulated sugar and light corn syrup. Stir together with a small spoon until well combined.
  • Microwave the mixture for 30 seconds, or until the sugar is mostly dissolved.
  • Add peanut butter and stir until smooth and fully incorporated.
  • Stir in the crispy rice cereal until everything is evenly coated.
  • Transfer the mixture onto a small plate. Using your hands or the back of a spoon, shape the mixture into a cookie-like round, pressing gently to hold its form.
  • Wipe out the mug. Then, add butterscotch chips and milk chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring well between each increment, until fully melted and smooth.
  • Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the cookie, spreading it gently to cover the surface.
  • Serve immediately. Or, refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to let the chocolate set.

Notes

*You can also use Special K, but it does end up breaking due to the stirring in the mug.
