Thank you for the wonderfully simple recipe, I just copied it down. It contains all of my daughter's favourite food,especially peanut butter and she always pesters me to make cookies as she loves to help out. This should be very easy for her to handle.

I just made these for New Year's Eve. They are so yummy and easy to make and the oats make you feel like you're eating a slightly healthier dessert. :)

I agree I have been copying a lot of recipes from my lot too. It is so nice to see so many neat ideas to try. I usually make a 1 or 2 week menu at a time so I think I am going to start a new one and incorporate some new recipes from mylot.

Thank you for the recipe. My kids and i love baking together, but since i had baby it's hard to find the time. And since i don't have to bake these then it doesn't look like it will take very long at all. thanks again

Hubby will be happy with this recipe. Everytime I torque up the oven he tells me how much gas I am using to bake with.

Oh, I love no bake recipes! They're so perfect for summer when you don't want the oven going and heating up the whole house. There's nothing worse than having the oven on when it's already boiling outside! I'll definitely have to add these to my summer dessert recipes!

Hello, thank you for this recipe, my daughter absolutely loves chocolate and is a healthy eater so the oats in this will appeal to her. I enjoy finding the new recipes or old ones that I lost in the fire so this is a great one for the book! Thanks much for sharing this!!

Oh my gosh, my mother used to always make these for us kids also growing up. I've always asked her for the recipe but she always told me she'd tell me later and then we'd both forget. So can you make them without the peanut butter using the same ingredients on this recipe? I don't remember the peanut butter but I'll sure try it. Thanks for sharing! Now I don't have to ask my mom and can surprise her one day with my own no bake cookies!
