Fast and tasty. My grandmother uses to make a version with corn flakes. Thank you for a summer time cookie,without the oven.
That sounds delicious also!
This is my kind of dessert! So easy and delicious.
Yum! No bake cookies are lifesavers in the summertime. These were absolutely scrumptious! The crispy crunch texture was fantastic.
Step 4 mentions oats. Is oatmeal part of this as well?
No, that should be cereal. I corrected it. Thank you!
