Peanut Butter Blossoms

Here is a variation on a recipe that I have made lots of times and forget about.  Which not sure why that is.  I found this variation on Pinterest (of course) and had to try it out.  Super easy and they were gobbled up in no time.  I had a harder time "drizzling" the chocolate than anything else.  I am not a neat baker/cook.

Peanut Butter Blossoms
1 cup sugar
1 cup Karo syrup
1 jar (18oz) smooth peanut butter
6 cups corn flakes
3 oz chocolate chips

Combine sugar and syrup in a saucepan over medium heat.  Stir until mixture comes to a full rolling bowl.  Remove from heat and stir in the jar of peanut butter.  Mix well.  Add corn flakes to a large bowl and pour the peanut butter mix over the corn flakes.  Mix well and make sure you cover all the flakes.  Scoop out with a tablespoon and form into 1-2 inch balls and drop on wax paper lined cookie sheets.  Melt chocolate for 30 seconds and then another 10 if needed. Then "drizzle" over the cookies. 

My other recipe calls for a bag of Hershey Kisses.  You drop the balls on the wax paper and press a kiss into the center of each one.  They are harder to store this way but a bigger bit of chocolate never hurts.  We store ours in an air tight container in the fridge and set them out right before serving.  That way they are not all gooey.
