These chocolate cereal treats are a no-bake recipe that takes about 10 minutes and tastes like something you’d find at a bake sale for twice the price. Rich chocolate coats crunchy cereal in a treat that sets perfectly at room temperature and has an incredible snap when you bite into it. They’re endlessly customizable, made with pantry staples, and absolutely perfect for last-minute treats, holiday candy trays, or any time you need something sweet and satisfying without breaking out a single baking dish. Everyone always wants the recipe.
- Swap: Use dark chocolate for a less sweet, more sophisticated treat that works especially well for adult gatherings.
- Make-ahead: These are best made ahead — set in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before cutting and serving.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or refrigerate for a firmer, snappier texture.
- Variation: Press dried cranberries, toasted coconut, or crushed pretzels into the top before the chocolate sets.
- Serving: Cut into bite-sized squares and arrange on a platter with other no-bake treats for a festive candy-box presentation.

These yummy ooey gooey messy cereal treats were the perfect thing to whip up, and only 3SP each on all 3 MyWW programs. Feel free to change up what kinds of cereal to use, I have listed the points for each cereal so you can maybe use ones with similar points.

Love your recipes! I do have a question, what are sugar crisps? In the pictures it almost looks like honey smacks(think that is the name).
Hi, Thank you.. Where are you located? Sugar Crisps are a cereal, maybe they don’t have them where you are? Google them and you can see what they look like, more than likely you have a cereal similar ๐ They are one of my favorite cereals, not the healthiest but I make it work ๐
Will you be doing the smart points for your recipes? I started ww smart points and definitely need some easy recipes for my sweet tooth. Thanks
You will see that a lot of recipes already have smart points in them.. I am working my way through them all but it is a lot of work, bare with me, eventually they will all be updated.. ๐
Are Sugar Crisps similar to Kellog’s Sugar Pops?
So I googled sugar pops, they look a little similar but not sure if they are the same.. Google sugar crisps cereal and you will see a picture of them ๐

Hi Caity, sorry I didn’t figure out the calories etc, this was such an old recipe when I was just giving points, plus people may use different cereals.. you could use the My Fitness Pal app and build the recipe in there and it will give you all the nutrition info
