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!
The one difference that I noticed when it comes to the Crumbl version VS the Little Debbie version is that the crumbl one seems to use milk chocolate in their version, which I’m all about.

How to store these Crumbl chocolate Crunch cookies?
You can store these no-bake cookies in an air-tight container for up to 1 week.
You can also refrigerate them in an air-tight container and they will last a bit longer that way. Just make sure to pull them out of the fridge a little before you’re planning to enjoy them so they get some time to soften up a little.
Help! My star crunch mixture is so sticky!
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.

Notes
These cookies can be made with both store-bought caramel chips or homemade caramel sauce. To me, the result is better both look-wise as well as taste-wise when you use your own homemade caramel. Try using this homemade caramel sauce recipe to make your own fail-proof caramel at home.
