These Nestlé Crunch Oatmeal Cookies are also Nestlé Buncha Crunch Oatmeal Cookies, because both Crunch treats are so fun to eat!

The real milk chocolate combined with the light and airy crisped rice twists a routine cookie into a much more exciting crunch-filled escape!

Nestle Crunch Oatmeal Cookies_recipe

You’ll need two 3.2-oz boxes of Nestle Buncha Crunch, but if you only have one (like I did) or even none, just chop up some regular or fun-sized Nestlé® Crunch® bars.

I had to borrow from from my Halloween stash to make the Nestle Crunch oatmeal cookies this time.

(Sorry trick-or-treaters! I’ll make it up to you.)

Actually it’s a good thing I had a decent-sized stash, because Chanelle grabbed one of the regular Nestle Crunch bars for her road trip before I could stop her. (As if I would have said no anyhow, right?)

    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

      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!

    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!

      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!

    I love that they have Thin Mint Girl Scout cookies. As a former Girl Scout and leader I love to see a company partner with the Girl Scouts!

    I love Crunch! I remember when I was pregnant years ago eating melted Crunch with a spoon. The new Girl Scout Cookies sound amazing.

    These have always been an absolute favorite of mine. I love that they contain no artificial coloring and are real milk chocolate. I have to say- I don’t blame Chanelle one bit! 🙂

    Nestle Crunch has been my favorite candy bars for decades. LOL It’s simple and sweet and I have no doubt I’d love these cookies. I’ve got to get my hands on the Crunch Girl Scouts Thin Mints Bar asap!

    I love the crispy crunch that is added into the milk chocolate, but I learned that there is a girl scout thin mint bar! I must try this!

    I learned that barley malt is used to flavor the crisped rice in Nestlé Crunch, and Nestlé Crunch is made on equipment that also processes wheat.

    I haven’t had a Nestle Crunch bar in FOREVER but I do love that they come in a variety of formats (for lack of a better word) now for easy access. Really the only candy I eat is provided at work, so luckily they come in ‘fun size’ for me to eat at work.

    I love the original crunch bars. They bring back memories of childhood. I would like to try the thin mint bars, though.

    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.

    Nestle Crunch is a classic candy bar but I love the fact that they have not remained stagnant with their recipe but have tried to tweak things a bit and changed it up to add other complementary flavors and companies to work with.

    I just like how good they are. I haven’t had one in a while though so I may have to stop and let the girls get us some after school. Thank you!
