Chocolate Special K Cookies

My son left for college about three weeks ago.

This is the only excuse I have for my absence from blogging.

(I actually don't think one has

 anything to do with the other...but it sounds like a good excuse.)

This past weekend was his first

weekend home from school. 

So naturally, I made cookies all weekend.

I still love these chocolate chip cookies...the recipe that I borrowed from "the butler".

My son's favorite cookies are Special K cookies.

I wanted to make two batches, so that he could take some to share some with his roommates;

but, I didn't have enough Special K.

My husband suggested I try the chocolate variety of Special K that I had in the cabinet.

Here are the results:

Because you add the cereal after you take

the mixture off the stove, I wasn't really expecting the chocolate to melt. 

What we ended up with was absolutely delicious. 

I am not sure that I would say they are better than the original, but they are definitely different.

I will make these again!!!
