These No-Bake Chocolate Rice Krispie Cookies are a quick and easy treat combining the crunchy texture of Rice Krispies with rich, smooth chocolate.

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Workspace: Start by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to ensure your cookies won’t stick and will cool quickly once shaped.
  2. Melt Butter and Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in granulated sugar, milk, and cocoa powder, whisking continuously until the mixture is smooth and starts to bubble gently.
  3. Mix in Vanilla and Rice Krispies: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Then gradually add the Rice Krispies cereal, folding gently until every crisp is coated with luscious chocolate goodness.
  4. Shape the Cookies: Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, drop clumps of the mixture onto your prepared sheet, spacing them evenly. Press lightly to form beautiful, thick rounds.
  5. Let Cookies Set: Allow the cookies to cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or refrigerate for faster setting. Once firm, they’re ready to enjoy!

Notes

  • Use fresh Rice Krispies to ensure maximum crunch.
  • Adjust sugar amounts to control sweetness, especially if adding extras like marshmallows.
  • Work quickly once the chocolate mixture is ready for easier handling.
  • Use a cookie scoop for uniform sizing and professional appearance.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature to keep them fresh and crunchy up to 5 days.
