No reviews

Sweet, chewy, and irresistibly salty-sweet, these no-bake cookies are made with butterscotch pudding, oats, chocolate, and toffee for a quick treat ready in minutes.

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 36 cookies

Ingredients

  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup butter (1 ½ sticks)
  • ⅔ cup evaporated milk
  • 3.4 ounces instant butterscotch pudding mix (or caramel pudding)
  • 3 ½ cups quick oats
  • Dash of salt, to taste
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (chilled)
  • ½ cup toffee chips

Instructions

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper. Measure oats and set aside. Place chocolate chips in the freezer.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, butter, evaporated milk, and a dash of salt. Heat over medium, stirring frequently, until mixture reaches a full rolling boil (vigorous bubbling that doesn’t stop when stirred). Boil for 30 seconds.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in oats and pudding mix until combined. Let cool slightly for a few minutes.
  4. Gently fold in chilled chocolate chips and toffee chips, stirring just enough to mix without fully melting the chocolate.
  5. Scoop spoonfuls of the mixture onto prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle lightly with coarse sea salt if desired.
  6. Let cookies set for 15–30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Chilling the chocolate chips prevents them from melting completely into the hot mixture.
  • For a stronger caramel flavor, use caramel pudding mix instead of butterscotch.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
