I grew up eating these. My 3 older brothers and I loved them. When my mom passed away, I looked for the receipt but could not find it. Great to get it back. YUMMY !!!

 Susan (Connecticut) says:
I, too, made these throughout my childhood. Since I have been eating more Whole foods, I altered this recipe using dark chocolate chips, honey, gluten-free granola, and fresh ground peanut butter. Microwave chips with enough honey to make a somewhat smooth consistency. Add granola and peanut butter, and drop onto wax paper to cool. Much healthier!

Nice to see a recipe that my mother taught me when I was a kid. That was thirty years ago and I still make them occasionally. Some things never go out of style. Thanks.

I add pecans. My mom made these all the time. Sometimes she used the crunchy Chinese cracker noodles. I like to use semi sweet chocolate versus cocoa, and add only one cup of sugar. They taste more chocolatey this way

These cookies are great fast and super easy to make. I just wanted to know if you can use crunchy PB?

 Georgia (Virginia) says:
I sub almond milk for milk, almond butter for peanut butter, use 50% oatmeal and 50% grapenuts cereal and use agave nectar instead of sugar. Low gi treat for diabetics.

How come by the time I get mid way through the pot of Dropping them on to the paper It just becomes all crumbs. Is there a better way to keep it hot with out having to twist and turn and hurry from the stove to the table with a spoonful of "glop" lol??

My b/f is a junk food junkie he has to have "Snacks" Every single night last week I made the ones I'm used to which are peanut butter No bakes and they did the same exact thing I am Dropping them on to the paper as Quickly as I possibly can

I'm half tempted that next time I make it just to pour it into a 9x13 pan and smooth it out and cut them in squares when cool

oh and these have been around for years and I've only known them as No- Bake Cookies, My elementary school used to sell them at lunch 2 for a Quarter we got to choose between Peanut butter or Chocolate, Or We could get 2 Square Buckeyes for a Quarter :D

oh and they're such a hit that my b/f is taking them off the paper no more than i get them on I asked if he'd rather just me mix it all up and bring him the pot and a spoon :D

My husband grew up on these, he calls them No-Bake Fudgies. He makes them for my chocolate fix on a regular basis. Also a little refridgeration will help set the "fudgies". Almond Extract will knock these out of the park.

Have made and loved these cookies/candy for years. Was making them last week and was 1/2 cup short of quick oats, so went to cupboard and found instant oatmeal packets, used two with banana flavor. Yummm

As a child on halloween, there was a lady in SE Missouri who gave this cookie as a treet. My Mom would always take them from me and my sister if she had the chance. I would break a piece off and give her the rest. Brought back old memories! Thanks for the recipe!
