Holy Crap These are Amazing Cookies (I didn't name them)

I recently needed to bring treats to work and my mom found this recipe. They were DELICIOUS and a big hit in the office. The only downside was I spilled corn syrup all over our stove and am still trying to clean it off.
(Makes about 3 dozen cookies)
What you need:
  •  1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup corn syrup
  • 1 jar (18 oz ounce) peanut butter, crunchy or smooth (I like creamy.)
  • 6 cups corn flakes
  • 3 oz good quality chocolate of your choice (I used Scharffen Berger Semisweet 62%.)
What you do: 
Combine sugar and corn syrup in a medium saucepan. Place over medium-high heat and stir until the mixture comes to a full boil. Remove from heat and stir in the whole jar of peanut butter. Mix well.
Add corn flakes to a large bowl. Pour peanut butter mixture over corn flakes and mix well, taking care to coat all of the corn flakes.
With a tablespoon or cookie scoop, scoop out and form into 1-2 inch balls, depending on your preference, and place them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment or wax paper.
Put the chocolate in a small bowl and melt in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Stir until smooth. Put the chocolate in a baggie and clip the corner. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cookies.
Enjoy!
