Those would go over big with my kids. They love tasty sweet treats like this – especially as an after school snack.
Fudge Stripes have always been at the very top of my favorite cookies list. I’ve never thought to use them in a recipe. I love what you’ve done with those Fudge Stripes. Your cookie balls look delicious!
It combines so many things I like from chocolate cookies up to rice crispies. This would really make a delicious combo.
Fudge Stripes used to be my favorite cookie as a kid! Who am I kidding? They’re still one of my faves!
What a fun way to use Rice Krispies and Keebler Cookies! I might have to try these with their grasshopper cookies too!
We love fudge stripe cookies in our house. This would be a great treat to try….we are chocoholics here!
Would love to try this if I need a sugar fix
This is a great idea! Never thought to coat my chocolate cookie balls with Rice Krispies before! Love it!
I love this quick and easy to make chocolate treats. I love that you added rice krispies to the recipe for that added crunch. Maybe I can also tweak the recipe and make different variations, replacing the rice crispies with toasted coconut, or crushed peanuts/almonds, etc. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Awesome idea. I love that these treats are no bake and that you can tweak the recipe to make different coatings. I love the rice crispies coating on this recipe. However, my husband “recently” discovered coconut. I’d make some for him with coconut.
I love chocolate cookie balls! So this is how to prepare it. Thanks for sharing.
Oh my, what interesting idea. Thanks for sharing.
Those wouldn’t last very long around here! I have a sneaking suspicion that my hubby would absolutely love these.
The school just started and I think this will be a good snack for my son whenever he goes to school! Added this one on top of the other recipes! This is surely fun to do!
I am sold. This looks so good and it’s easy to make. It’s a nice treat for the kids to enjoy during the summer especially after a long day of playing outside. I’d love to make this for them.
I will show your recipe to my daughter as she always look for some fun things to make in the kitchen. This looks delicious.
These chocolate cookie balls are a great treat idea for any occasion. The Keebler Fudge Stripes were my favorite cookie when I was a kid. This recipe I will have to make for sure. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
I love chocolate and these balls are looking yummy
Can’t decide between cookies and confections? You don’t have to! These chocolate-covered cookie balls feature a filling of cream cheese and crushed cookies.
This looks so easy to make. Now the kids are out of school and they would love this for a sweet treat while they watch movies!
