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.
