chocolate peanut butter cocoa krispie cookies with chocolate ganache
Delight your taste buds with our heavenly chocolate peanut butter cocoa krispie cookies. Experience the perfect fusion of rich chocolate, creamy peanut butter, and crispy goodness.
The cereal aisle is overwhelming.
Like, holy shit, have you noticed there are 27 different versions of Honey Nut Cheerios, 14 versions of Rice Krispies, and 23 versions of Captain Crunch? How does one decide? Decisions are the worst! Name that movie.
After I spent probably a good 35 minutes marinating in the cereal aisle mumbling out loud the pros and cons of whether I should go with Golden Grahams or Cinnamon Toast Crunch, I realized, I am creating a line in front of the Cocoa Krispies. So, I panicked, grabbed a box of Cocoa Krispies, arrived home, looked at the box, and said, “WTF.” I had cereal remorse.
Don’t get me wrong, I love me some Cocoa Krispies, but it’s not an “everyday” cereal like Cinnamon Toast Crunch or Golden Grahams. Am I right? I will give Cocoa Krispies mad props for making the milk sipping an extra chocolatey experience. So, as I stared at the box, I thought about what I could make with these Krispies. First thought, make rice krispie treats! Meh. Second thought, could I put this on chicken? Um, that’s weird even for me. Finally, I thought, heck, why not make some cookies?
I haven’t made cookies since 2009. Okay, not really, but the thought that yours truly even wanted to make cookies is the equivalent of me attending the Black Yeast for Bakers Twelve Step program. Anyways, these cookies are the bomb diggity. Two kinds of chips, one of them chocolate, one of them being peanut butter…ahem, ahem. Folded into butter, sugar, more butter, and finally Cocoa Krispies. It’s a sugar fest win!
So, next time you are in the cereal aisle, grab a random box and make these cookies. Cereal remorse be gone!

Oh my word. Love the idea of a cookie with krispie cereal in it!!! YES! Great finishing touch with the chocolate dunk.
A chocolate dunk is always essential! 🙂
Oh these cookies!! The cereal is awesome, but I am huge fan of that chocolate ganache dunk!
LOL! It’s the best. Thanks, Tieghan!
This post cracked me up. These look amazing, so glad you made these and I hope someone here does too, and soon! Hint hint Naomi.
Thanks, Matt! I’ll definitely drop a hit or two to Naomi:)
Do you need cookie tester? I need to eat these cookies!
Yes! I’m hiring this week:) Thanks, Michelle!
“a” cookie tester I mean. Got overly excited….
DANG GIRL! I would eat the batter before it made into the oven. DELICIOUS and I’m seriously licking my lips.
Yum! Look at that chocolate! These cookies look amazing!!
Thank you, Polly! Definitely a new fav!
Can you deliver please? I will pay shipping and a little sum sum. 🙂 Sounds incredible Lauren!
Um, yes! Be there in five. Thanks, Krista!
HaaaHaaa, I steer clear of the cereal aisle 😉 I’d be willing to take a stroll there however so I can make these cookies! They look amazing!
“Girls Just Want to Have Fun” 😉
Holy shit, these look ammmmaaaaze!!!
And?? I love cereal, but I really do hate the aisle – so many freakin’ choices! I just want my Special K. And some Fruity Pebbles once in a while…
BAHAHAHA! Exactly. It’s all about balance. Thanks, Kate!
Cocoa Krispies were my OBSESSION back in the day. I can’t believe you just added them into peanut butter cookies. Mind = blown.
Right?! Cocoa Krispies rule! Thanks, Tessa!
haha, love that you went with the cocoa krispies!! too funny. I think this is the perfect use for that cereal! Especially when dunked in chocolate!!!
Lol, your and my cereal aisle experiences are quite similar — I always go for the Reese’s Puffs and then eat them by the handful for about five days straight, get really sick of them, and then they end up going stale in the cabinet. But I would totally venture down the aisle again for these cookies! Because YUMS.
Totally irresistible! I need a couple of these right now!
Swoon! I can completely relate to the cereal aisle experience. So hard to pick!
I love/hate the cereal aisle – because it’s impossible to make a decision!! I’m glad you picked this one , because oooo eeee I want to munch on these krispies!
Golden Grahams are the shiznitz. Just sayin’! I love that you made cookies with cocoa krispies. Very inventive, lady. Pinned.
You have the best ideas! These cookies are such a great combination of flavors and textures!
Omg. I want 100 of these!!
I’ve never thought about putting proper cereal in cookies – what a totally deliciously awesome idea!
ummm… WOW. putting cereal in a cookie? that’s like texture heaven to me!! pinned!
This look INSANELY good. Like they’re calling my name. Will be making these soon.
That ganache…. LOVE This! 🙂
I can’t even remember the last time I HAD cereal because being in the cereal aisle gives me so much performance anxiety. How can you ever know what is the RIGHT one to choose?!
Although, I guess so long as you can turn them into these cookies, then it is the right one. Seems like a good life plan.
I made this cocoa krispie cookie for a contest at the Geauga County Fair in Burton Ohio and was very excited to received a first place ribbon for misc cookie. Thanks for the receipe they were fun to make and so crispie and very tasty! Thanks for sharing, Diane Thomas
Given how old some of these posts are, I am dumbfounded why no one has mentioned the incongruence between your ingredients and your recipe. The ingredient list calls for 1 1/2 cups of chocolate chips but recipe instructions call for 1/2 cup. The ingredient list calls for 8 cups of Coco Krispies but recipe instructions call for 2 cups.
Makes me think all your comments are bogus and that no-one has actually made these.
Thanks for the catch! I’ve updated the recipe! Hope you have a great day!
