No Bake Cookies


I made up a batch of these for my niece's baby shower a couple weeks ago and as always, they were a huge hit. They are nice to make in the summer when you don't want to heat up the house with your oven. They taste very similar to "Buckeyes" but the textures isn't as creamy because you have the Rice Krispie Cereal to give it some snap. They are delicious!

No Bake Cookies
1 stick butter, room temp
2 cups peanut butter
1# powdered sugar
3 cups Rice Krispies Cereal
Chocolate, melted:
use dipping chocolate or 8 oz hershey bar and 12 oz choc chips
(I used the chocolate almond bark 24 oz size)
Using hands, work dough til soft and smooth. Form into 1" balls. With tooth pic, dip into melted chocolate. Set on wax paper then refrigerate.

And if my son is reading this post, I still have some safely stashed in the freezer just for you!

    Sher, these look delicious...I may have to give them a try. You know I'm not a baker, so that "no bake" thing intrigues me!

    These do look good and are similar to my reeses cup recipe. Now I know I better lose more weight before the holiday goodie making season comes up, cause I just gained 3 pounds looking at the picture! LOL

    Ooh, I definitely have to make these! I love baking without actually baking (I love real baking too, but the other way is so much easier). Just yesterday we made monkey bread in the microwave.

    What is the measurement for the powdered sugar?

    Yes, that's one pound of powdered sugar. I always get it in the 2 pound bag so I use half a bag.
