COCOA PUFFS NO-BAKE COOKIE!!!!

Congratulations to Debbie B. for winning the no-bake cookie contest. After much deliberation, tasting, talking and tasting again, we all decided that these cookies were the winner. The combination of peanut butter and chocolate puffs was absolutely delicious. While I thought these were going to be super sweet due to the honey, corn syrup and sugar, they weren’t. These no bake cookies come off almost like a candy. The recipe with a picture follows, along with a few thoughts on the other tasty no-bakes we made this past week.

Cocoa Puff No Bake Cookies- by Debbie B.

1/4 c. honey
1/2 c. white Karo
1 c. Sugar
1 (12 oz) jar peanut butter (1 1/2 C.)
4 c. Cocoa Puffs

Combine first 3 ingredients and bring to a boil for 1 minute. Take off heat and add peanut butter. Stir until smooth. Add Cocoa Puffs. Mix and drop by spoonfulls on wax paper. Let air dry.

Congratulations Debbie!

Although Debbie is the winner, the rest of the no-bake entries were all really good. The Ritz cracker cookie is one we’re going to be making for people this Christmas, and was the one cookie we had to make again when choosing a winner because it was such a close contender for 1st place.

The Oreo cookie balls were gobbled up in two days, and they were probably the prettiest cookie we made. They’re definitely a no-bake cookie you could add to a party cookie tray. The peanut butter balls lasted maybe 10 minutes in the fridge. I only got to eat one, and when I went back the next day for another, they were gone! If you love Reeses, then these cookie balls are a definite must-try. The coconut peanut butter balls were my favorite when it came to texture. The granola just makes this cookie ball, and they’re so healthy they work well for a breakfast treat or after school snack.

Thanks to everyone who entered! We look forward to our next cooking contest with you guys.
