Reese’s Krispie No-Bake Cookies
Introduction
Reese’s Krispie No-Bake Cookies capture the best of all dessert worlds: gooey peanut butter, crunchy cereal, and that unmistakable chocolate-and-peanut-butter flavor of Reese’s. They’re the ultimate quick fix for a crowd-pleasing treat, ready in minutes and requiring minimal cleanup. These cookies are both irresistibly delicious and supremely easy—you don’t even need to turn on your oven!
Why These Reese’s Krispie No-Bake Cookies Stand Out
What makes these no-bake cookies so special? Each bite brings layers of texture: the crispy cereal melds with a melt-in-your-mouth chocolate-peanut butter base, topped with extra Reese’s pieces for visual POP and more flavor. Perfect for late-night cravings, bake sales, lunchbox treats, or stress-free party platters, these cookies never disappoint.
Getting Your Ingredients Ready
Before you begin, gather your cereals, peanut butter, chocolate chips, and mini Reese’s pieces. You’ll also need a sturdy, nonstick saucepan for melting—consider the SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch for effortless mixing and transfer. Using parchment paper–like the Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll–on your baking tray ensures the cookies lift cleanly, leaving no sticky residue behind.
If you like to chop your Reese’s cups or mix-ins finely, a compact food chopper, such as the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper, will make the process nearly effortless and mess-free.
Mixing and Portioning: Making It Easy
When stirring together hot melted peanut butter and chocolate with your cereal, a reliable silicone spatula helps avoid sticky disasters. Quickly forming perfect, even cookies is simplest with a specified scoop. For storing leftovers or prepping ahead, opt for airtight containers like Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers, Set of 5 (3.2 Cup) to keep cookies fresh for days—if they last that long!
Serving Suggestions for Your No-Bake Cookie Masterpiece
Serve these treats as-is, or elevate them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream sandwiched between two cookies for a sweet summer stack! For parties, lay them atop a festive Pureegg Plastic Table Cloth Disposable 10 Pack, White for easy cleanup and a polished look. Cold milk, a hot latte, or a cold-brew in a sturdy tumbler are the perfect pairings for these no-bake delights.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with a sheet of Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll to prevent sticking.
- In a SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch over medium heat, combine peanut butter, sugar, and corn syrup. Stir continuously until everything is melted and smooth (about 3–4 minutes).
- Remove from heat. Stir in the chocolate chips and vanilla extract until completely melted and the mixture is glossy. Add a pinch of salt.
- Gently fold in crisped rice cereal, chopped mini Reese’s cups, and half the Reese’s pieces. Mix just until evenly distributed—avoid crushing the cereal too much. For quick chopping, the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper is a great help here.
- Using a spoon or medium cookie scoop, drop mounds of the mixture onto your prepared parchment. Sprinkle the remaining mini Reese’s pieces over the tops for a burst of color and crunch.
- Allow cookies to set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or refrigerate for 15 minutes if you’re in a hurry.
- Once firm, transfer to an airtight container like the Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers, Set of 5 (3.2 Cup) to keep them fresh.
