No-Bake Chocolate Crunch Cookies


I found this recipe via Savory Sweet Life. Not only is there no baking involved, but these cookies only call for three ingredients. It doesn't get much easier than that.

Ingredients:
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 3 cups corn flakes cereal
As usual, I doubled the recipe.

Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave. Add the peanut butter. Mix until well combined.

Fold in the corn flakes until evenly coated.

Using a tablespoon, drop the mixture on to wax paper or parchment lined cookie sheets.

Allow these to cool in the fridge or the freezer until hard. Enjoy with a huge glass of milk!

  9. These look yummy! And I love that they are no-bake; that means I don't have to heat up our house by turning on the oven this summer! Genius!

  12. I did somthing similar growing up, but used toasted coconut instead of cereal. Sometimes it was just chocolate and toasted coconut, but we did use peanut butter most of the time too. Always loved them during the holidays!

    1. You only really need to store them in the fridge if the peanut butter you used needs to be refrigerated or if it's hot outside.

  18. My son just informed me that not only was he going to bbq dinner (he loves doing it and I love the break from cooking lol) and that he had invited his girlfriend and her son over too which is fine with me. However, I needed a bit of a dessert to go with the meal and she's not only gluten intolerant but lactose intolerant too which can make it a tad difficult to find something she can enjoy as well. I found your recipe on Pinterest and thought I would give it a try. Instead of cookies, since I'm a bit short on time I just pressed it into a 9" square pan and topped it with a few chocolate sprinkles I found in the cupboard. Looks like a success! Thanks for a great recipe that we all can enjoy including her son - I mean what child DOESN'T like chocolate and peanut butter lol
