Chocolate no bake cookies are what people usually see, but if you try these peanut butter no bakes, you will be shocked at the taste. These are probably the best cookies I have ever eaten!
Ingredients:
- 3 cups white sugar
- 3/4 cup butter
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2 tsp. vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups peanut butter
- 4 1/2 cups quick oats
Directions:
- Combine sugar, milk and butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Bring to a rapid boil for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter and vanilla.
- Mix in the oats, stirring until everything starts to cool.
- Drop batter by tablespoonfulls onto wax paper.
- Cool until set.
- Tip: These are even better if you freeze them and wait until the next day to eat.

This year I bought a couple of packages of candy canes for our tree and I just didn’t even know what to do with the leftovers. I was looking in my cupboard for something cheap and quick when it donned on me that I have the things to make smores, but instead of chocolate I could use crushed peppermint candy canes. Feel free to leave a comment about these!
Ingredients:
- graham crackers
- marshmallows
- crushed peppermint (or whatever you have) candy canes
Directions:
- Put 1-2 candy canes in a plastic ziploc bag. Using a meat mallet or hammer, crush until you get the desired consistency. If you want a little more crunch, leave the pieces bigger.
- Put marshmallow on graham cracker and sprinkle with crushed peppermint.
- Microwave on high for at least 30 seconds. Watch carefully.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
- Tip: Let the kids help, they’ll love these.
