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.

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.

    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!

    • 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!

    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.

    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!
