No Bake Cookies

"These cookies are so easy to make because there is no baking. I always include these on my Christmas cookie tray that I take to work, and they are one of the first to disappear."

  1. I cut recipe in half for just me, but wish I had made the whole recipe to pig out on :) I subbed the new chocolate Special K and left off the chocolate star. Used crunchy peanut butter.
     
  2. The kids were having a sleepover last night and my daughter made these. They're delicious. Messy, by the way, but delicious. We used 3/4 cup golden syrup and 1/4 cup honey instead of corn syrup (ran out) and made it in the microwave oven. It was simple then to reheat when it started to set in the bowl. (Safety alert: very hot!)
     
  3. This is a very good recipe for cookies. I will make these again and again. Made for Football Pool 2013.
     
  4. These cookies were a big hit in my neighborhood, my dh and friends are still raving about them. I made exactly as written, except that I used 3 dark chocolate chips instead of the star, I couldn't find any. I did find that you had to work quickly when droping the mixture onto the wax paper. These were very tasty satisfying cookies, soft and chewy, with a delicious flavor. My dh found them very addicting. Thank you for sharing a recipe that we will enjoy again. Made for Fall Pac 2011
     
  5. I made these for my son to take to school for his birthday. Problem I had is they disappeared VERY QUICKLY!!!! I didn't have the chocolate starts so I just used Hershey Kisses they worked out great! I think for the next time I too may try the bars; although the spoonfuls worked just fine for me. I used 6 cups of cereal that was perfect!!!! I like them better then the chocolate no bake w/ oatmeal. This is an AMAZING recipe that is now a FAMILY FAVORITE!!!! They are a huge hit in our house. Thanks so much for posting!

  1. I thought that this was a very tasty cookie. I used all honey instead of corn syrup, and it was like eating a crunchy peanut butter and honey sandwich. Very satisfying. The only real issue that I had with this recipe was that I thought that there was too much liquid for only six cups of cereal. So, I upped the cereal to nine cups and thought that the cookies were just the perfect consistency then and not nearly as goopy. Thanks for sharing your recipe!!
