No Bake Caramel Cookies

Created by Amy Engberson 124 Comments

Smooth salted caramel, crunchy toffee chips, and chocolate wrapped up in super easy No Bake Caramel Cookies! I can’t think of a thing not to love about these cookies!

The worlds best No Bake Caramel Cookies!

I love no bake cookies, and I love caramel! I mean who doesn’t right? Today is the first day I’ve been home since my boys started school. That’s right a whole day to do whatever I wanted, ya right! I started with laundry, dishes, sprayed weeds in the yard, payed a few bills, and picked up my boys rooms. I normally make them clean up their own rooms, but today I was proud of them for getting up and practicing the piano without even being asked so I decided I would be a little nice. I had every intention of making cookies for the boys to come home to. The same thing happened to me that always happenes and I got busy doing other things and could see I was running out of time. That’s when I resorted to No Bake Caramel Cookies! Ten minutes later I crossed cookie making off my to do list and moved on to filing! (Making cookies is more fun!)

No Bake Caramel Cookies 5

All you have to do is boil some sugar, butter and milk. Add a little salt, butterscotch pudding (ya that’s right), oats, and give it a stir. Let it cool while you line a cookie sheet with wax paper, you could sweep the floor while the cookies cool a little too…if you hurry you can sweep the floor. Add chocolate chips, toffee chips, and give it a quick stir. You don’t want to over stir or the chocolate chips will melt everywhere, which probably wouldn’t be an entirely bad thing. I like my chocolate a little separated from the caramel so you get a little of everything in each bite.

Drop them on a cookie sheet and let em sit for at least 15 minutes, if you can wait 30 minutes is better.

Grab a glass of milk and enjoy! Don’t get me wrong…I love classic No Bake Cookies! But CARAMEL NO BAKE COOKIES, you have to admit that is a fun twist on a good ol’ classic! I love em! Really, I do!

        Would using the 3.4 oz pudding make it just less butterscotch or change the consistency?

          I’ve never tried that so I can’t say for sure. I imagine they would make the cookies a little less set up, and a little less butterscotch flavor. If you let the mixture boil just a little bit longer it might help with the cookies to still set up firm enough. Let me know if you try it!

    Made these this morning and boy are they addictive lol I tend to scorch things on the stove ( I get distracted a bit too easy I guess) so I made it in the microwave. Since my butter and milk were cold – didn’t have evaporated milk so I just used “regular” milk – I cooked it on high for 9 minutes to get it to a full rolling boil. These are great if you just need that small hit of sugar now and then and I plan on experimenting with different flavors too like maybe banana pudding or coconut…the possibilities are endliess!

    Do these harden nicely? I’ve made no bakes with pudding before, and they never hardened no matter how long you let them sit. Your pictures look like they firmed up very well. I’m wondering if it’s the evaporated milk that helps with that? I’ll be trying these for sure, and tweaking other recipes accordingly!

I only had a small box so I added abt 1/2 c butterscotch chips hope they set up. this is one of those comments…..I didn’t have toffee chips so i added caramel bits and mini choc chips. For some reason, I don’t expect they will look just like yours! 😉

      I used a 5.1 oz box of pudding. I absolutely love experimenting with recipes and think it is fantastic when readers do the same. Who knows how it will turn out. Heck, even if you have to eat these cookies with a spoon I bet they will taste good. And you can’t go wrong with adding chocolate chips and caramel!

      I don’t use Stevia in my cooking so I’m not sure what the results would be. I’m guessing if you use sugar free pudding it will alter the consistency of the cookies. You could always try it and eat them with a spoon if it doesn’t work out. I bet the cookies would still taste good! 🙂 Happy Fall!

    I’m wondering if the pudding size is correct. A 5.1 oz box is the size that makes 6 servings, not 4 servings. I can’t find Butterscotch flavor in that size locally. Is it the four serving size or the six serving size box of pudding?

      I found a 5.1 oz package of butterscotch pudding at my local Walmart. A reader told me they used a 4 oz. package with success, although I haven’t tried that myself. Another reader suggested weighing pudding mix and using 5.1 ounces. I know that is a pain and leaves you with a half used package of pudding.Hopefully you find a method that works for you because these cookies are worth it!

    Well, I tried making them with just a 4 serving size box of pudding, I couldn’t find anywhere on the internet that a six serving size box existed in butterscotch flavor. They didn’t turn out to be as good as when I weighed out 5.1 ounces of powder from 2 boxes of the 4 serving size. I guess I’ll just keep making the other half box of pudding powder into pudding.

    These are amazing!!! I’ve made them twice now–very quick, easy, and delicious! I took them to my son’s soccer dinner, and his teammates devoured them! I used steel-cut oats for half the oats, because I ran out of regular oats, and it still worked great! Also did not have toffee bits on hand, so I substituted caramel bits. DELICIOUS! Thanks for such a great recipe!

      It’s crazy because I actually bought pudding that size when I created this recipe and can no longer find it. I think next time I make it I will use two small boxes of pudding or one large one. It might make the cookies a little more firm, but I don’t think it will really hurt anything! Happy Holidays!

    Made these today to send with my boys to a lock-in. I know they’ll be a big hit, they’re great. Very sweet!! A fun variation on our usual chocolate-peanut butter no-bakes.
    For ourselves I would cut back on the sugar, although you can’t go too far with no-bakes, in my (limited, amateur) experience it’s the sugar and boiling it that holds them together. I did let the mixture boil a minute and they seemed perfectly firm enough. You do have to work kinda quickly, as it cools what is left is getting crumbly and you have to work harder to mush them into cookies.
    Thanks for the recipe!

      I’m glad they were a hit! The amount of sugar you used would definitly affect the way the cookies set up. And yes, you do have to work pretty quickly when dropping the cookies or they will set up and then it’s hard to make them into cookies! Even those crumbs would be yummy though!

      Hi Laurie! That’s a tough one. My Penaut Butter Pretzel No Bake Cookies recipe uses rice cereal instead of oats and it works great. However, I’ve tried using rice cereal in traditional no bake cookies and it gets really chewy…not good. I’ve never tried substituting rice cereal in these but you could try it and see how it goes. I’m also wondering about using cooked quinoa instead. It seems a bit out there but you could try it. Good luck!

      I went ahead and made these without waiting for answers cuz I need something to take to game night tonight and do NOT want to turn the oven on in this heat.

      So, in an attempt to have them not be quite so sweet I bought 2 of the 3 oz boxes of instant pudding- 1 butterscotch & 1 vanilla. I used all of the b’scotch & about 3/4’s of the vanilla. And I didn’t completely fill the 2nd cup of sugar. They are still sweet but not overly much.

      I also made them much smaller than called for I guess; I wanted bite-size. After making about a dozen “drops” I switched to making little balls so as to compress the dough a bit more. Both of these were taking more time than I had so after I had about 40 and still having about half the dough left, I patted the rest into a greased 8×8 square pan. And they DO cut just fine; I cut the pan into another 36 pieces. So I now have a plate of balls and cubes to take. I’m very happy with the results- thanks for the recipe!

        Having about half of these left after Friday night and not wanting (needing) to finish the rest myself (I live alone) I broke up the rest into smaller pieces and used them in a trflfe for a potluck; this also went over very well. In addition to the cookies I used a pkg of chocolate pudding (instant), a pkg of vanilla pudding, Cool Whip plus some mini chocolate chips & Heath Bits.

      If you look on the post you will see a grey box that says “click here for the recipe”. If you click that it should take you straight the the printable recipe complete with amounts of ingredients and instructions. If it doesn’t work for you let me know!

    I don’t have sea salt. How much regular salt should I use?

      Hi Janice! Sea Salt and Table Salt can actually be used interchangeably! That should make for an easy transition! Happy cooking!

    I thought i had evaporated milk but it is condensed milk would this work as well i know it is thicker. Any thoughts?

      Hi Jennifer. Evaporated milk and sweetened condensed milk is very different so they are not interchangeable. Hope you can grab some evaporated milk soon so you can make it soon!

      Hmmm! It’s hard to say without watching you make them. My best guess is that maybe you didn’t get the milk/butter/sugar mixture to a full rolling boil. It needs to boil hard enough that it doesn’t stop boiling when you stir it! Hopefully that helps! Let me know if I can further help you!

    Can you I substitute regular oats instead of instant oats?

    Reply
    • Amy EngbersonAmy Engberson says

      December 21, 2017 at 3:24 pm

      Yes! You can use old fashioned oats instead of quick cooking oats. It will give the cookies a little different texture since quick cooking oats are ground finer than old fashioned ones! Best wishes!

      It’s one 5.1 ounce bo of instant butterscotch pudding. I haven’t tried using sugar free pudding and so I’m not sure how it will work. I’m guessing it might make a thinner cookie. Let me know how it goes if you try it!

      Yes! Coconut is a great addition in these cookies. Just substitute coconut for a portion of oats. So if you want to add a cup of coconut, reduce oats by a cup. Yummy!

    How do you store these cookies? If they last
    Can’t wait to hear comments from friends I share with. By the way, I couldn’t find the 5 oz. Box either. So bought 2-3 oz ones and cut one in half. Made pudding with the other half. Plus, the little can of evap milk was just shy of 2/3 cup so used 1/2 & 1/2 to make up diff. Worked fine.

      I store them in an air tight container. I’m guessing they would last up to about three days, but I don’t really know because my boys and their friend devour them in a few hours!

      Caramel pudding would work perfectly! I created this recipe before Kraft created caramel pudding! Sounds like you have your substutions all figured out. If you want a thinner cookie you could reduce the cooking time of the mixture too. Reducing the amount of oats would also make them thinner. Good luck!
