What are Crunchy Nutella Cookies?
These Crunchy Nutella Cookies are a fun spin on classic no-bake treats. They’re made without egg, purpose flour, or baking tools like a stand mixer, making them perfect for beginner bakers or anyone short on time.
The star is the rich chocolate hazelnut spread, also known as Nutella, mixed with crispy cereal for that perfect chewy texture. This no-fuss treat became super popular thanks to how quick and simple it is.
With just one bowl, no oven, and minimal clean-up, you can whip up multiple batches of cookies in under an hour!
Substitutions
- Nutella – Want to try homemade? Blend roasted hazelnuts with unsweetened cocoa powder and a sweetener like maple syrup!
- Coconut Milk - Replace with almond milk, oat milk, soy milk, or cashew milk for a creamy texture.
- White chocolate – Substitute with milk or dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor, yogurt chips for a tangy twist, or coconut butter for a creamy, sweet alternative.
Recipe Variations
- Coconut - Add ½ cup of shredded coconut to the mixture for a tropical twist. Can be toasted for a deeper coconut flavor.
- S'mores - Mix in crushed graham crackers and mini marshmallows for a fun s’mores-inspired treat. Can be lightly torched for a toasty marshmallow effect.
- Healthier - Swap sugar for honey or maple syrup and use almond or oat milk instead of regular milk. Use dark chocolate Nutella or a hazelnut spread with less sugar for a lower-sugar option.
Storage
- Store Nutella cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent them from softening too much. If your kitchen is warm, consider refrigerating them to maintain their shape.
- For longer freshness, place the cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving for the best texture.
- To store for an extended period, freeze Nutella cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet until firm, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving, or enjoy them slightly chilled for a firmer texture.
Ingredients
Listed below are all the ingredients you will need (omitting quantities):
- Nutella
- Coconut milk
- Kellogg’s cereal or any crispy cereal, like Lucky Charms cereal
- White chocolate
See recipe card for quantities.
Instructions
In a bowl or food processor, combine Nutella, coconut milk, cereal, and melted white chocolate.
Pulse until well combined - the batter will be slightly wet.
Keep the blender lid securely in place to prevent spills.
Finally, pour in the white chocolate and pulse again.
The batter will be wet, but now perfect to form into bite-size cookies. Spread nutella mixture on wax paper or a baking tray to set.
Freeze for one hour and serve. And that's it! How quick was that?
Hint: If the dough is too wet, add more cereal (1 tablespoon at a time).
⭐ Top Tip
- Use cornflakes or rice cereal for an extra crispy texture.
- Drizzle extra melted white chocolate on top before freezing for a decorative touch.
- For a richer flavor, sprinkle sea salt or chopped nuts before chilling.
- Make it vegan by using dairy-free white chocolate and hazelnut spread!

If I cruah up the cereal bwfore hand, can I avoid using the food processor? or will I not get the same texture? I dont have a food processor ]:
Lainey says
Yes, you can crush the cereal, but the food processor helps bind the cookies. You can try using a blender. 🙂
