No Bake Cookie Bars

by Lynn

It is August in Oklahoma, which means it is hot outside. The kind of heat where I dread turning on the oven because it heats up the house so much.  I have been trying to come up with some easy, no bake, summertime desserts that I can make without using my oven.

This is one I came up with based on my no bake cookies. It is the same basic recipe, I just tweaked it a little bit.  I think it is even better this way.  My family loved them. I loved them not only because they were good, but because they were quick and easy.  Plus, they are a frugal dessert to make and I don’t have to use my oven.  I also usually have all these ingredients in my pantry, so these are easy to make any time I need a quick dessert.

Perfect! I was planning to take brownies to a potluck tonight but I DON’T want the oven on. I considered no-bakes…but these sound like a FUN and unique thing to try. Thanks for the great idea!

those look so tasty and now that we’ve moved into a rental home temporarily with no air conditioning, I think these are going to be made quite often this summer.

I can’t wait to try this recipe!!! I have a no bake chocolate oatmeal cookie recipe, I would like to share: 2 cups of sugar, 1/2 cup peanut butter, 1/2 cup of butter, 4 tbsp. Nestle Quick chocolate, 1/2 cup of milk, and 3 cups of minute oats – Boil sugar, chocolate, peanut butter and milk for one minute. Add butter and oats. Drop on cookie sheet covered with waxed paper to cool.

Enjoy

Hey !! that’s really wonderful. It is so easy to prepare and it is really enjoyable trying this out.Apart from that you get the ingredients handy. I prepared it twice this week. I am happy that I read and tried it. It really tastes good as well. I had a different kind of Bar after quite some time .

Thanks for reposting this for those of us who are newer to your site. Its the day before shopping day, and snacks are all gone. This manages to use the staples I have on hand, I think I’m going to mix up some for the afternoon snack and make my boys quite happy. :)

@Tina, Thank you. I hope you enjoy them. I love how quick and easy they are and you are right they contain basic everyday ingredients.

these are my absolute favorite ever! when I was a kid, my school served these as cookies at lunchtime and I loved them!

I love this idea. I rarely am able to get the last few cookies out without them being crumbly. I can’t wait to try it (your no peanut butter version too).
