chocolate chex chocolate chip cookies.

that’s a whole lot of Cs in the title! i love alliteration. and cereal. and cookies. i had the idea the other day to throw some chocolate chex into the dough of my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe.

i couldn’t get the thought out of my head.. so a few days later, i tried it out.

i am happy to report it was a huge (tasty!) success.
