Serves: 22
Ingredients
- 2 cups Reese's Puffs cereal
- ½ cup diced fresh blackberries
- ¼ cup peanuts
- 4 ounces dark baking chocolate
- ½ cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon smoked sea salt (coarse) or regular salt
- Powdered sugar
- Smoked sea salt (coarse)
Instructions
- Use smoking gun to blow smoke bubbles into milk for 4 minutes. In large bowl, combine cereal, blackberries and peanuts.
- In microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate on medium power (50 percent) for 1 minute. Stir, microwave 30 seconds longer or until chocolate can be stirred smooth. Stir in 2 tablespoons of smoked milk, granulated sugar and ½ teaspoon salt. Stir chocolate mixture into cereal mixture until coated. (Add a little more cereal if you like it a bit drier.)
- Spoon mixture by teaspoonfuls onto waxed paper (some chocolate will pool around cookies). Refrigerate about 15 minutes or until set.
- Sprinkle cookies lightly with powdered sugar and a pinch of salt. Store in airtight container.
And it now looks like we need to add a smoking gun kitchen tool to our gift guide for foodies, eh? —Jenn
