These Nestle Crunch Oatmeal Cookies are the yummiest! They’re soft and chewy Buncha Crunch cookies with everyone’s favorite crisped rice chocolate crunch.
The milk chocolate combined with the light and airy puffed rice puts a tasty spin on a routine oatmeal cookie and transforms it into an exciting chocolatey crunch-filled treat.
Ingredients for Nestle Crunch oatmeal cookies
(Exact ingredients and amounts can be found in the recipe card below.)
- butter
- brown sugar
- granulated sugar
- eggs
- vanilla
- all-purpose flour
- baking soda
- cinnamon
- nutmeg
- salt
- quick-cooking oats
- Nestle Buncha Crunch (or chopped Nestle Crunch bars)
Which chocolate is best for this Nestle Crunch cookie recipe?
I like using an 8-ounce bag of Nestle Buncha Crunch and I’m not gonna lie; they’re not always easy to find. I get mine at CVS but you can also find Buncha Crunch in movie theater-style candy boxes in other stores.
If you can’t find Buncha Crunch, you can chop up some regular or fun-sized Nestle Crunch bars and use those instead, but tbh, I prefer making the oatmeal cookies with Buncha Crunch.
How to make Nestle Crunch oatmeal cookies
Step 1: Beat butter and sugars together until creamy. Mix in the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt, then mix in the oatmeal and Buncha Crunch.
The cookie dough will look like this:
Use a cookie scoop to place evenly sized drops of dough on a cookie sheet.
I always, always use a cookie scoop so that my cookies are uniformly sized and bake evenly. It makes a huge difference!
Bake the Nestle Crunch cookies for about 10 minutes. The edges will be turning golden and the tops will be gently set.
Leave them on the cookie sheet for 1-2 minutes more before removing to a cooling grid.
They’re soft, chewy and scrumptious!
And of course, the Buncha Crunch cookies are full of chocolate inside!

I really don’t like to make cookies. Do you think they would work pressed out in an 8″ square pan?
They look really good.
Thanks
Liz says
I’ve never tried baking them in bar cookie style, but I’ll bet they’d be delicious that way! I’d go with a 9×13-inch pan and increase baking time to about 20-25 minutes or until toothpick inserted near center comes out with just a few moist crumbs on it. Good luck!
hazel says
Hi, when you say 1-1/2 flour is it 1&1/2 cup of flour? My dough came out too wet so I will try once more! Please give me a reply! thankyou!
Liz says
Yes, it’s 1 & 1/2 cups of flour. The only other thing that was written a little awkwardly (and I updated it just now to be clearer) was the amount of butter I used. Since it’s a drop cookie, the dough will come out sticky but should still hold its shape when you drop it on the baking sheet. It will spread when baked. Wishing you success with the next batch!
Annie says

The bars are delicious and make a quick, easy dessert. The Crunch bar is made with Nestle’s excellent chocolate, mixed with crisped rice, and is one of the company’s best products. If you can use the calories, or if you have an iron constitution and can parcel these bars out, say one per day, then this is for you.
