Ingredients to make No Bake Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies:
Peanut butter kiss cookies ingredients:
- Corn syrup
- Brown sugar
- Peanut butter, creamy
- Vanilla
- Rice Krispies cereal
- Chocolate kisses
Instead of a Hershey’s kiss, you could also use a peanut butter cup or even a Rolo. Or any of your favorite flavors of kisses.
Other helpful items used to prepare cookies:
- Saucepan
- Wooden spatula (THESE are some great ones!)
- Cookie sheet (check THESE out)
- Large mixing bowl
- Wax paper or parchment paper
How to make No Bake Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies:
Start by grabbing your medium saucepan and mix together the corn syrup and brown sugar over medium heat. Make sure to stir continuously until the syrup and brown sugar mixture comes to a full boil.
PRO TIP: Make sure that the corn syrup and brown sugar come to a full boil or else the cookies won’t come together.
Then take the saucepan off the heat, and add in the peanut butter and vanilla extract and stir it in well.
In your large mixing bowl, pour all of the rice krispies cereal. Then, add in the peanut butter mixture to the cereal. Stir everything up well until all of the cereal is well coated.
Now, grab some of the rice krispies mixture into your hand and roll it into a small ball, about 1 ½ inch or so and then place it onto the cookie sheet lined with waxed paper or parchment paper.
Then, using your thumb, press a small indent into the ball and then place a chocolate kiss into the indent and continue to push the kiss down a little further. This should form the cookie around the base of the kiss.
Once that is done, let the no bake peanut butter kiss cookies sit and cool for a few minutes until they set up fully. Then, be sure to store them in an airtight container to keep them from drying out.

What a fun recipe for kids! Love!!! http://njbnotjustanotherblog.weebly.com/kamau-kafe ~Inspiring the young to cook~

How about using a small Reece's peanut butter cup instead of a kiss?
-
Would enjoy something less "hard" as a Hershey's Kiss. Any thoughts? Maybe a firm frosting?
-
I don't like corn syrup, can I substitute it for something else?... maybe marshmallows... any suggestions?
-
I sub corn syrup with brown rice syrup. It is a bit less sweet but with the brown sugar in this it would be sweet enough
-
-
I made the peanut butter kiss cookies. What did I do wrong? They did not stick together. I had to eat them with a spoon
-
I had the same problem where it wasn’t staying together. I mixed in more penut butter (JUST orbit butter, NOT the peanut butter mixture) and it helped form up the mixture so I could form the cookie shape. Hope this helps!
-
peanut butter* not orbit butter, oops.

I did the same thing as Trenna and Nicole. Nothing is sticking together. I even made more peanut butter mixture and it's still not sticking together, it's a hot mess. Not sure what I did wrong.
-
This recipe is a real hit!! Great tasting and easy to prepare!
-
I made this recipe as part of our Christmas goodies. I must say it is delicious I didn't have the same problem with sticky if anything it was a little dry. I only got about 18 cookies but it was delicious and I'm going to use the leftover crumble to make some kind of bark with chocolate. Thank you it's a good idea!
-
Made these today and they turned out perfect. I actually got 28 out of my batch.
-
I used dark brown sugar, and the recipe came out just fine. Very tasty. The cookie didn’t stay very compact, but did stay together. Love it!
-
Such a fun recipe to make with my toddler, and so delicious! I got 35 cookies and it came out perfectly.

Instead of using the stovetop, can we use the microwave? We are teaching a virtual cooking class for middle schoolers and are trying to avoid using stove tops or ovens for safety reason. We would love to try to make these, but wondering if microwaving would work? Also, do you recommend any other recipes of yours that would fall under these categories for our middle schoolers? They LOVE to cook and it’s nice to be able to teach that virtually. Especially with a lot of their parents working...our students are home alone & would be nice for them to have recipes that are safe for them.
-
Looks delicious! Can you substitute something else for the corn syrup?
-
Very tasty! Crispy and chewy together, follow the recipe directions and they are faultless
-
These are sooooo good! I want to make them again but (hard to believe) Walmart had zero Rice Krispies a few days before Christmas. I want to take them on our long day of driving. Dangit. I’m going to try them with cheerios. 😬😬 Think they’ll turn out??
-
This recipe is quick, easy, and so delicious! I made 2 batches in about 45 minutes! I had to hide them from my husband or, they won’t make it to the cookie trays! 5 stars!
-
These turned out perfect, used dark chocolate for the kisses, and its a good vegan cookie!
-
I loved this recipe. Very easy. The secret of them sticking together is being sure to boil the brown sugar and corn syrup together. Turned our perfect. Ended up with about 40.
-
Can you freeze these cookies?
