The reviewer gave this recipe 4 stars. This recipe averages a 4.32 star rating.

This was very quick and easy and could be made with ingredients I had on hand. I used the Special K with Chocolate. These are good, but almost too sweet. I used low fat peanut butter, and will use splenda next time, just to make it a little more diet friendly.

I was a bit disappointed by this recipe, because the mixture got dry and hard while I was still forming the cookies and they tasted a bit too salty when cool. Maybe I did something wrong, but I am not going to try this again.

These did not turn out for me at all. The end consistency was chalky and the cereal became almost stale.

Pretty good! I changed a few things, mainly because I don't like cereal. I used rolled oats in place of special K, and I put in some cocoa powder while I was waiting for the sugar to melt. It turned out great! It was like caramel oatmeal cookies.

I've been looking for this recipe for years! Its nearly identical in taste to a cookie I was in love with one year at camp. I didn't have special K on hand, so I used cornflakes, and was still delicious. I'm sure any type of grain cereal could be substituted and they would still be amazing! (I remember at camp there were sometimes cheerios or rice crispies) Thanks for the amazing recipe!

I made these for a cookie swap. Everyone raved! I added salted peanuts and semi-sweet chocolate chips to the mixture.

I have fond memories of these cookies from the bakery in the Indiana University Student Union back in the late 70's and couldn't believe that possibly it was the same cookie! It is! I used 5 cups of cereal instead of 4 to get it to the consistency I remember and they are terrific! I also used 2 tsp. of vanilla and made them on the stove instead of microwave. Once the sugar and syrup boiled for about one minute, I added vanilla and pb and it turned out perfectly.

This is recipe is super simple and really great! I needed to make some cookies and didn't want to bake and ran across these! Yea!!! Kid's loved 'em! (I did too!) I accidentally added the peanut butter with the sugar and syrup (duh!) and they still turned out great. The only change I made was to use Optimum Power Breakfast cereal with bluberries! They are awesome. What a great high fiber afternoon snack these will be. I may try to cut down the sugar a little! :) But still fantastic & yummy!!!! Thanks for the recipe!

I added raw organic pumpkin seeds and low fat peanut butter (better n' peanut butter) to mine. I then dipped them half way into melted choclate and stuck them in the fridge to harden. My husband hates no bakes & loved these. Thanks!

OMG, what a beautiful thing ;0) No-bake caught my attention, as I'm not an accomplished baker. These cookies are so scrump that I could barely get them out of the house to bring to our potluck lunch at the office. I can tell you, very few will make it to lunch, we're all picking at them! I made them just as the recipe states, except that I used Special K with Chocolate Chunks. It looked like a match made in heaven, and it is! One thing, you might want to double the recipe, no way you can get 100 cookies out of this, unless they are button sized. I used about a tablespoon for each cookie, and they made about 50 smallish medium sized cookies. I also crunched down the cereal a bit in the measuring cup and added a bit more and crunched that down before stirring into the mixture. These are soft set, more like confections that cookies--think pralines. I was afraid they'd be hard to transport, so I put a layer of wax paper between each dozen in my container. By morning they were set just right for handling & eating. BIG HIT, thanks for the awesome recipe!

Yummy! I was just looking for a way to use up old Special K, but it looks like I'll be making many more since they are my fiances new favorite cookie!! Thanks! Oh and I made mine with Splenda in place of sugar to cut back on calories a bit...my fiance had no idea!

These are fantastic!! Great as bars too! I usually spread the mix into a cake pan and pour melted semi-sweet chocolate chips over it. Then drop melted butterscotch chips and swirl into the chocolate and let harden. Cut into squares and serve, FABULOUS!!!

I am a gastric bypass patient so I needed to make these sugar free. I used Splenda in place of the sugar, sf syrup for the corn syrup, natural peanut butter, and Special K Protein Plus for the cereal. Very easy and turned out delicious.
