Instructions

Stir in 1/2 cup of the mini chocolate chips. 3/4 cup Mini Chocolate Chips

Let the cookies sit for a couple hours at room temperature, or for 1 hour in the fridge until solid.

Notes

Don't overheat the Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate slowly, in 30 second increments, and stir as much as you can before microwaving again. That way the white chocolate isn't overheated or it might burn or get lumpy.
Use Parchment Paper: Scoop the candy onto pans lined with parchment paper otherwise they'll likely stick and be very messy when removing directly from a cookie sheet.
Stir Gently: Add in the cereal mixture carefully so the pieces don't all break, we want to keep the nice crunch they add.
Add Extra Mix Ins: Add chopped up pretzels or nuts to give the cookies an extra crunchy texture.
