    Chocolate Fudge No Bake Cookies

    A perfect combination of creamy chocolate and peanut butter.  These Chocolate Fudge No Bake Cookies are absolutely delicious when cooled or frozen.  I would take one of these over a Popsicle any hot day!  These are very similar to my No Bake Cookies with one minor change, which actually happen by mistake!

    You get these creamy Chocolate Fudge No Bake Cookies when you cut back the boiling time of regular No Bake Cookie.  These creamy fudge like cookies that are amazing in the freezer or refrigerator.  While they don’t have to be refrigerated or frozen it is recommended.  The only “problem” with this cookie is that it is not stackable.  If you try to stack these cookies together you will end up with one giant cookie (yes, it happened at our house) which means you have to take a slice out of the giant whenever you want to eat a piece.  By not boiling it the cookie doesn’t set up, but gives you a great alternative to the traditional No Bake Cookies.

    Chocolate Fudge No Bake Cookies Recipe:

    • 2 cups Sugar
    • 4 tablespoon Cocoa
    • 1 stick Butter
    • 1/2 cup Milk
    • 1 cup Peanut Butter
    • 1 tablespoon Vanilla
    • 3 cups Oatmeal

    1.  In a heavy saucepan bring the sugar, cocoa, butter, and milk to a boil.

    2.  Stir in peanut butter, vanilla, and oatmeal.

    3. Lay out the wax paper, drop mixture by the tablespoonful and allow the cookies to cool.

    4.  Once the cookies have cooled place in the freezer or refrigerator using wax paper to separate the layers.

  • Recipe: No Bake Cookies

    I always loved it when my Mom made No Bake Cookies when I was a kid.  It has been fun making these cookies with my girls now.  I had some oatmeal and peanut butter I needed to use up recently so I made these cookies for one of our recent road trips and for a friend who had a baby.   These cookies are delicious and inexpensive to make.  The most important step of this entire recipe is making sure that once the first set ingredients is boiling to allow them to boil for 1 minute, if you do not let it boil for 1 minute the cookies will be runny and not set up well.  These cookies are a perfect combination of chocolate and peanut butter.

    No Bake Cookies:

    • 2 cups Sugar
    • 4 tablespoon Cocoa
    • 1 stick Butter
    • 1/2 cup Milk
    • 1 cup Peanut Butter
    • 1 tablespoon Vanilla
    • 3 cups Oatmeal

    In a heavy saucepan bring the sugar, cocoa, butter, and milk to a boil.  Let them boil for 1 minute.  Stir in peanut butter, vanilla, and oatmeal.  Lay out the wax paper, drop mixture by the teaspoonful and the cookies have cooled.  The cookies will harden as they cool.
