This cookie was not as good as I expected, but I think it could be quite improved by reducing the amount of chocolate chips. There were just way too many of them. If I were to try these again, I would reduce the chocolate chips by half to let more of the cookie batter's flavor come through. Also, like others have said, the Rice Crispies added a different texture than expected, less crunchy and instead more chewy than I thought they would be.

This cookie had such promise. everything about it sounded delightful..but believe what you hear.. the cereal crisp turns into "moosh" and leaves the cookie with an odd texture.. and yes 4 cups of choc. chips.. WAY too much.. all in all good idea.. yet it failed to meet a 5 star rating. No go on this cookie ever again.

Don't add the water...they don't need it. And the additional water makes them puffy and cakey rather than chewy.

The texture of these was weird. Definitely not crunchy like you would expect. I might try adding more rice cereal next time.

I only used 2 cups of chocolate chips and that was plenty, 4 would be overkill. Next time I will bake longer, maybe 12 -14 minutes i found them too soft, I like a little crunch. I will make them again for sure, love the krispies!!

The idea of this recipe is good however, it needed some tweaking. I didnt have rice krispies on hand, but i had fruity pebbles! First off, i cut the recipe in half, the full one would have made WAY to many! I also only added 1 cup of chocolate chips not 2, which would have been way too much! After baking, they turned out great! Colorful and delicious! Personally, i would have added more Fruity Pebbles to get more of a crunch. Definitely making again... with more fruity pebbles and less chocolate chips!

This recipe was pretty good. it didnt have as much "crispy" as i thought it would, though. it was more crunch/chewy. i also used 1 1/2c milk choc chips and 1 1/2c of butterscotch chips and 1c of walnut chips. very good mix of flavors. will make again. thanks

These were so good right out of the oven! I used the chocolate chips I had on hand which were the dairy/gluten free mixed with a little bit of reg. semi sweet. I too reduced to 2 cups and it was plenty. I cant imagine what they would have turned out like with 4 cups! Thank you for a different use for rice cereal other than krispy treats!

This recipe is fantastic!!! Each cookie is consistent, loaded with chocolate chips, and delicious! I won't make any other chocolate chip recipe again, this is the one to make!
