Yeah...you know, the ones that you used to get on your green-tinted, sectional lunch tray in high school?? Those are the ones! The traditional Halloween meal that was served in our public school usually consisted of brunswick stew, your choice of a grilled cheese or peanut butter sandwich, and then there were THESE...
...peanut butter no-bake cookies...
They just seemed to fit this meal perfectly. They were sooooo good!
My husband and I love making these at
Christmas time too, at a time when we tend to crave the comforting foods we had as kids. We each grab 2 spoons and stand on opposite sides of the counter, piling up heaping teaspoons of warm, chocolaty, nutty, and just plain yummy cookies. It somehow brightens our spirits during this magical, yet stressful time of year.
