I have been waiting for Crumbl to release their chocolate crunch cookies and this week they finally did it! These cookies are a play on the Little Debbie Star Crunch cookies and let me tell you, I’m here for it!
They are made with rice Krispy cereal, chocolate chips, caramel chips, and marshmallows. Pretty much what every kid and adult dreams about on a daily basis. So in an effort to allow you to have these beauties any time, I decided to make them available to recreate at home with this copycat recipe.
This is the best Crumbl chocolate crunch cookie recipe ever!

Don’t worry about it being sticky, it’s completely normal. Think of these as close cousins to the infamous rice Krispy treats, those are super sticky because of the marshmallows and these will be too.

How much of the homemade caramel do you use?

Turned out great but most of all they taste great.

That’s awesome!

My husband loves Star Crunches so I decided to give these a try. They were delicious! My only issue with them was how extremely sticky they were. I almost needed to coat my hands, parchment paper, and the silicone mats I used in something. I think next time I would roll them in my hands (covered in oil) so that way maybe some of the oil transfers to the cookies and they don’t stick to the parchment paper.
