No-Bake Cookies

I have always loved No-Bake Cookies. There's just something about them that make my mouth water. So, I thought I'd post my favorite No-Bake Cookie recipe:

No-Bake Cookies

Ingredients:

2 Tbsp Butter
2 Tbsp Cocoa
1/2 c Milk
2 c Sugar1 tsp Vanilla
1/2 tsp Salt
3/4 c Crunchy Peanut Butter
2 c Oatmeal

Directions:

Melt butter in a medium saucepan. Stir in cocoa, milk, and sugar. Stir to melt ingredients together. Bring to a boil that spans the whole surface of the mixture (rather than just the edges). Remove from heat. **allowing the mixure to boil for even a few minutes will completely dry out the cookies and leave you with nothing more than chocolatey granola. Believe me. It's happened to me before*** Stir in vanilla, salt, peanut butter, and oatmeal until well mixed. Stir until mixture has thickened a bit. Scoop heaping spoonfuls onto wax paper and allow to cool.

Makes about 2 dozen.

Quick Recipes

Being a mother of two and a wife to a working/schooling husband I'm a big fan of quick recipes. Something that is yummy, yet doesn't take a lot of work. Friday night I was wanting a quick treat, so I made FudgeMallow candy. It's a recipe my mom got years ago from the back of either the marshmallow or chocolate chip bag. It's quick, it's easy and I think it's yummy. For all those interested here it is:

Fudgemallow Candy

1- 12 oz. pkg of Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips (I used milk, either works fine)
1 cup Chunky style Peanut Butter (Natural style is just what I had on hand)
1 Bag of Mini Marshmallows



Melt chocolate chips with peanut butter in the microwave, stirring after the first minute and then every 20 seconds after that, until smooth. Fold in marshmallows. Pour into greased 8x8 square pan, chill until firm. Cut into squares and enjoy.
