A quick and easy no-bake cookie perfect for holidays or every day filled with Nutella and oatmeal!
I’m so excited to bring you these little cookie treats today! They took hardly no time at all to make, and they are so kid-friendly! Plus you don’t have to worry about baking multiple batches. I made them on Tuesday afternoon, and my kids were so excited when they got home from school!
My kids only have 1 week left until spring break. I guess I need to start planning some things for us to do…
I have found getting out of the house and going to do something to be the key to my sanity when all 4 kids are at home…but then there’s that whole part about getting out of the house with all 4 kids…sometimes that just isn’t easy. It IS getting easier though as the baby and my 3 year old get older.
Until then, my older two kids have field trips. My first grader has one today at a local state park, which he loves to visit. They are having an egg hunt, and I hid some good stuff inside his eggs…a little candy, some mini-bubbles, a stretchy bunny, and of course, a dollar!
So I hope these cookies make their way into your kitchen for the Easter season or just because!!
- 1 stick buter
- 1¾ cup sugar
- ½ cup milk
- 1 cup Nutella
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 3 cups oatmeal
- ½ cup rice cereal
- Optional: Candy coated chocolates (I used coconut-flavored M&M's)
- Melt butter in a large sauce pan over medium heat.
- Add sugar and milk and stir until combined. Let it come to a boil. Keep stirring for about a minute. Lower heat a little and add Nutella and vanilla and stir well to combine.
- Remove from heat and add in oatmeal and rice cereal stirring well to coat.
- Drop by spoonfuls onto wax paper. Flatten a little with the back of the spoon and rest some candies on the top.
- Allow to set for an hour or two.

Such an awesome treat for Easter and I love that they are no bake!
Love these cute, easy treats! Four kids… I can’t imagine how hard it is to get out of the house. I think it’s hard to get out of the house with two kids!
These little cookies are so cute! AND I totally hear you about getting 4 kids out of the house. Sometimes I wonder if it’s worth it to leave at all! Ha!
