The chocolate peanut butter no-bake cookies are one of my childhood favorites!
I usually enjoy baking for my family, but today it was 101 degrees and I did not feel like turning on the oven. Even on hot days, my children require a bit of sugar to keep them sweet, so I made these easy Chocolate Peanut Butter No-Bake Cookies.

Directions:
1. Add sugar, cocoa, milk, and butter to a large pot.
2. Stir over medium heat until it boils.
3. Remove from the heat and cool for 1 minute.
4. Then add the vanilla, peanut butter, and oatmeal. Stir until thoroughly combined.
5. Drop by tablespoon onto wax paper.
6. Let the cookies cool completely before removing them from the wax paper.

Your timing is perfect: we're having company next week, and I was hoping to find a dessert that doesn't require baking!

Hi Alea 🙂
I read the comment you had left on Lisa's 'Tempt My Tummy Tuesday's' and had to come see what No-bake dessert you were talking about. We are doing a series of no-bake desserts on our blog, so wanted to compare 😉
Back when our "boys" were in school, I made lighter shade of the no-bake cookies into spiders when the pre-school class was studying spiders. Used chow mein noodles for the legs, mini choc. chips for the eyes – they turned out better than hoped for!!! chuckle, chuckle. fun memories!

This is an all-time favorite of my family. Both my teenagers make these when there is "nothing in the house." They are a cross between a cookie and candy and yours look yummy! Joni

root beer floats! A gallon of vanilla ice cream and two-liter bottle of Mug root beer was purchased today, and I really doubt it if I can put off having them for a few days…tonight will be the night!
And, I have seen your chocolate cereal treats called Puppy Chow…might go over well with Rew in the years to come.

Rebecca- I forgot about rootbeer floats. We haven't had one in long time; it will make a fun treat this weekend. I am definitely going to be calling the cereal treats Puppy Chow from now on. 😀

No bake desserts in the summer time are definitely the way to go!
I have been searching for 9 years for the peanut butter rice krispy treats recipe. Nine years!!! YEAH!!! I can't wait to try it. I need some rice krispies now.
Rebecca says
We had the floats; and the next day, the men in my family couldn't resist polishing off the bottle of root beer! So for round two tonight, I resorted to Pepsi floats. Just as good!
Hannah says
No bake cookies – an old favorite at our house! We like to make fruit ice creams with frozen bananas, strawberries, or peaches. So unbelievably good!
