Rice Krispie Bar Cookies

This is a recipe that my Aunt Melba used to bring to all the family gatherings...I love them!
1 cup sugar
1 cup corn syrup
Combine in a large pot and cook until it just begins to boil (simmering on the edge)
Remove from heat and add:
1cup peanut butter
4 - 5 cups of Rice Krispies
Sir gently until it is combined and press into a 9 x 13" buttered pan.
Melt and stir:
1 cup of semi sweet chocolate chips
1 cup butterscotch chips
Spread over Rice Krispies and let cool. Cut into squares.
Chocolate Crinkles
(from Brownie Mix)

I have made Chocolate Crinkles for years. I had some boxes of brownie mix and thought I should be able to make the cookies with the mix.
Here is a new recipe for these moist, chocolatey cookies.This cookie is so simple, but VERY rich and super moist. It is the perfect cross between a brownie and a cookie. I used the store brand brownie mix, and the cookies ended up delightful. You could do so much with this recipe, instead of using chocolate chips you could substitute butterscotch chips, peanut butter chips, mint chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, etc. . Another great thing about this recipe is it can all be done in one bowl, little mess is always good right? (The original recipe is in the Family Cookbook)

1 - box of fudge brownie mix (19.8 oz)
1 cup flour
1 lg egg
1/2 cup water
1/4 vegetable oil
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup confectioners sugar
1/2 chopped toasted pecans or walnuts

In a mixing bowl, combine brownie mix, flour, egg, water and oil; mix well. Stir in chocolate chips. Place confectioners' sugar in a shallow dish. (if you refrigerate the dough for about 30 minutes, then it will be much easier to handle) Drop dough by tablespoonfuls into sugar; roll to coat. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees F for 8-10 minutes or until set. Remove to wire racks.
