Chocolate Crunch Bar Cookies
Can we just talk about how Halloween should NEVER be on a Monday? It’s cruel and unusual punishment to all the kids (and parents of kids) out there. The sugar crash, the late bedtime, the residual glitter that will be stuck to your face for days to come…
You’ll also sign up to get new recipes in your inbox. Δ So today….the day after Halloween…when the rest of the world is hungover on sugar, I urge you to make cookies. A little “hair of the dog” is the only way you can get through this Tuesday. It’s really the only answer.
These are soft, thick, brownie-like cookies. Which happen to be the perfect vehicle for most add-ins. And what I did here is pretty flipping fantastic. I wanted to make a cookie that was kinda-sorta like a Nestle Crunch Bar. So I decided to wanted to include Rice Krispie cereal in the cookie…but I have done this on other occasions and the texture of the cereal changed a bit when it’s baked. So to prevent that this go-round, I “sautéed” them in a little butter and sugar…to make them crunchy and sweet!
And I have to say that I had a hard time keeping my hands out of this stuff once it was cooled. It might be my new favorite ice cream topping! I used cocoa powder to make the cookies chocolatey….
And I found these crazy Nestle Crunch Baking Bits at the store…I was so excited to use them! But I will tell you, since they might not be easy to find, you can 100% use a box of “Buncha Crunch” OR some chopped Nestlé Crunch Bars! The dough is absolutely fantastic.
Just scoop and bake!
They bake up like a dream…
Thick, chocolaty and filled with sweet crispy bits! *This post contains a few amazon affiliate links
