More Than S'mores Cookies

The title says it all! The recipe calls for peanuts but for those with allergies there is a nut-free variation. Recipe from Bonnie Stern.

• Ready In: 35 mins
• Serves: 36
• Yields: 36 cookies

Ingredients

• 1  lb  milk chocolate, chopped (or semi-sweet if you prefer, chocolate chips work too)
• 2  cups miniature marshmallows
• 2  cups  Rice Krispies
• 1  cup  graham wafers, broken into small pieces
• 1  cup  toasted peanuts
• 1⁄2 cup raisins (I use cranberries) or 1⁄2 cup dried cherries (I use cranberries) or 1⁄2 cup dried cranberries (I use cranberries)
• 1  ounce chocolate, melted (white or dark to contrast in colour)

Directions

1. Measure and mix the dry ingredients in a medium bowl.
2. Chop up the milk chocolate if using bars and heat in a large bowl over a pot of simmering water to melt, stirring.
3. Let cool a few minutes and then stir in the dry ingredients.
4. Spoon about 2 Tbsp at a time onto a waxed paper lined baking sheet. Drizzle the melted contrasting chocolate over.
5. Refrigerate until firm, and then store in the fridge or freeze.
6. Nut free version: omit the peanuts and increase the graham wafers by a half cup, and either the rice krispies or cranberries by a half cup.
