Two no-bake treats from our high school cafeteria had students lining up: Peanut Butter Cheerio Bars and Chocolate No Bake Cookies.
Fudgy and rich no bake cookies are an important part of childhood. The trouble is, if I make them, I eat them. My body doesn’t respond well to these luscious gems anymore. I gain weight just being in the same room with them. It took me awhile, but I finally developed a good substitute. I can make these for me and be satisfied while the growing kids eat the real deal.
I’m not a huge coconut fan, but the toasted thicker flakes are not papery and just good.

Thank you!! I really miss my favorite childhood cookies, especially since trying the Trim Healthy Mama lifestyle. This recipe is perfect for that plan! Now to find peanut powder…..
I really enjoy and have put to use your budgeting advice. And decorating ideas, and bargain hunting to get grocery bills down. The food we buy really adds up, especially since I am at home with the children. But the Lord has really blessed us indeed, and continues to provide for our family.
Keep it up, and God bless you and your family!
I’ve purchased peanut flour from Swanson Vitamins, THM and Southern Grace Farms. I haven’t figured up who has the best price in a couple of years. It used to be Southern Grace but you have to buy enough to get free shipping to get the price down. Oops, not free shipping, just the largest quantity.
