For me, this was a great recipe to use up my leftover holiday coloured rice krispies (notice the photo!!). I was quite pleased to stumble across it and my 4 year old was thrilled to help me make them! The dough is kind of a pain to work with (I found) and I needed to use my hands to incorporate all of the chocolate chips and rice krispies. It does appear at the time to be somewhat crumbly, but once baked, they hold together nicely and have a nice crunch from the krispies! I know my 4 year old loved them, as did the hubby and my 9 and 7 year old boys will be thrilled with the treat when the get home from school today for snack!

These are great, My dough did not seem dry and I followed the directions to a tee. I did the mixing with my kitchen aid. I made a batch with M&Ms also. I would make these again.

I followed the recipe to a "T". Although I found the dough to be dry and crumbly, I continued onward, mixing well. I used a TABLESPOON measuring spoon to scoop out little cookie balls and dropping them onto a baking sheet, sprayed with PAM baking spray. The cookies baked nicely at 350 degrees for 12 minutes. What I had were 36 cute little CRISPY chocolate chip cookies. The cookies were a nice light brown color. I could see little rice crispy cereals baked throughout each cookie as well the chocolate chips. I am so glad that these cookies turned out well. If you are looking for a chocolate chip cookie that is crunchy and crispy-this is it! However, I suggest not altering, modifying, or changing the cookie dough in any shape or form, it will turn out fine in the end. I made these for the guys who can easily pop these delicious cookies into their mouths while working. thank you for sharing this recipe.

An excellent, happy surprise! As I made these I was unfortunately prepared to be disappointed. The dough was dry and crumbly so I expected the resulting cookie to be the same. NOT! The cookie is just how I like them and don't often get - crunchy! Finally, a crunchy (and crispy too, obviously, from the Rice Krisipies) chocolate chip cookie! Hmmmm, the dry and somewhat crumbly dough made for a crunchy cookie - that makes sense! I suppose if you're not a crunchy cookie lover like I am you could always use half brown sugar instead of all white, or add an extra egg, or a little less flour, or add a little milk, any or all of which would make for a more moist, chewy cookie - or move on to another recipe altogether because this one is just fine as is and I'm sure was designed to have the appealling crunch I love. I used a 1 T. scoop which made for cute, perfectly shaped little cookies, great for popping in your mouth one after another.

My new favorite cookie recipe! I substituted Cocoa Krispies because they were in my pantry; had no problem with consistency of dough. YUM!!

I substituted the white sugar with 1 1/3 C. molasses, deducted 5 tbsp of softened butter, and replaced whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour. My 3 year old loves them, and I definitely enjoy the chocolate fix without feeling too guilty.

I didn't find these cookies anything special. They were a bit tasteless and too sweet. I most likely won't make these cookies again.

Decent cookies, but not spectacular. I thought it was a good idea to reduce the rice krispies a little (I wouldn't reduce by half, however), and add more chocolate chips, butter and egg for better batter. I think brown sugar would help out too with flavor, making it more like a traditional chocolate chip cookie.

These are awesome cookies with the right amount of chewy/crunchy texture and are great with milk. These remind me of a recipe I cut off of a rice cereal box back in the 70's and were a favorite of mine. I like to change out the semisweet chips for milk chocolate chips and add a cup of chopped walnuts to the mix. By the way, if you mix in the chips first, then the cereal, it seems to go better. Love the recipe!

They bake up really nice looking and I didn't have any trouble with the mixture, really fast and easy. It tastes and smells pretty good. I would say this cookie is a kid's type of cookie.
