100% would make again

I created this candy by combining my husband's favorite cookie recipe and my mom's caramel dip. These sweets really appeal to kids...plus, they can help make them!—Tamara Holschen, Anchor Point, Alaska

Made these for my daughter's bday treats for her class and they loved them. Very unique and taste great! Had a problem at the beginning after dipping them in cereal, caramel would run off and look messy. Make sure to let excess caramel drain before dipping in cereal. Good recipe!
