The kids are bored. It’s too hot to play outside. They want a snack. They’re not interested in anything you have in the cupboard. They want cookies, but the cookie jar is empty.
You just want to put your feet up and relax in front of the fan because the sun is blazing through the window and there is no breeze outside. It’s summer and it’s just too hot. But, you’re a mom who knows her kids are uncomfortable.
Wouldn’t it be great if you and your family could gather in the kitchen and make a great treat without turning on the oven?
Sounds like a great day for some no bake cookies. How about a nutritious cookie that only has 4 ingredients that you more than likely already have in your cupboard?
· ½ cup of peanut butter
· ¼ cup of honey
· ½ teaspoon of vanilla
· 2 to 3 cups of crispy rice cereal
Mix the first 3 ingredients together in a bowl. Slowly mix in the crispy cereal until the mixture is stiff enough to roll into a ball and hold its shape.
Send the kids upstairs to wash their hands while you lay wax paper on the table. Let them roll the mixture into balls and place them on the wax paper.
Place the cookies in the refrigerator while you clean up the dishes and the kids wash their hands again. By the time everything is nice and tidy, the no bake peanut butter cookies will be ready for everyone to enjoy.
TIP: It’s a lot easier to roll the balls with moist hands. Explain the difference between dripping wet hands and moist hands.
