Scotcharoo Cheerio Cookies

Sometimes you want schotcharoos but don't have any Rice Krispies or butterscotch chips.  Tonight was one of those nights.  This is what I did instead.

1 cup sugar
1 cup corn syrup (spray the cup with Pam before measuring the syrup, it will make your life easier)
1.5 cups peanut butter
2 teaspoons vanilla
4 cups Cheerios
2 cups old fashioned oats
1 cup dark chocolate chips

Place a long piece of parchment on your counter.  In a large bowl combine Cheerios and oats.  In a 2 quart  saucepan over medium heat add the sugar, syrup and peanut butter.  Stir constantly until just boiling, take off heat and stir in vanilla.  Pour over Cheerios and oats, mix until everything is coated.  Spray your hands with Pam and scoop a heaping Tablespoon of the mixture, roll into a ball.  Place on parchment and flatten slightly.  Put the chocolate chips in a zip top sandwich bag and microwave for 30 seconds, squish it around, then microwave 30 seconds more or until melted.  Using scissors cut a small hole in one of the bottom corners of the bag.  Drizzle chocolate over cookies.  Store in a air tight container.
