Peanut Butter Nest Cookies
Peanut Butter Bird's Nest Cookies are a fun twist on a classic! These no bake peanut butter cornflake cookies get a fun easter twist thanks to cute little Egg shaped M&M's.
Servings: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 5 cups cornflakes
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1 bag egg shaped peanut butter M&M's
Instructions
- In a medium sauce pan bring the sugar and light corn syrup to a boil over medium high heat.
- As soon as the mixture begins to boil, remove from heat and stir in the peanut butter and vanilla until smooth.
- Pour over the measured out cornflakes and stir to evenly coat.
- Scoop the cornflake cookies out and place them on parchment paper. Shape into a nest either using your fingers (careful! It may be hot!) or the back of a spoon.
- Repeat with the remaining cornflake mix.
- In a microwave safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips by microwaving for 30 second intervals, stirring in between each one, until completely smooth.
- Spoon the melted chocolate into a piping bag or freezer zip top bag. Snip the corner so there is a very small hole.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cookies in both directions.
- Place 2 or 3 egg shaped peanut butter M&M's into each nest.
- Allow to cool on the counter until the chocolate is set, or toss them in the fridge if you are in a hurry.
- Enjoy!
