    No bake cookies that are like pieces of peanut butter fudge with oatmeal stirred in. Similar to the chocolate no bake cookies.

    I know I've been quiet around here.  Life has been really busy though and I haven't had a lot of time for blogging.  I barely feel like turning my computer on after working all day….and a lot of the time I don't!  Most of my Facebook communication comes from using my iPhone, and even that has become sparse lately.  Suffice it to say, we are still in the midst of a lot of things here and hopefully all will calm down soon.

    I happened to be home this afternoon because I had some work done at the hospital that made me unable to "operate heavy equipment".  I guess that means driving my car.  😉  It sure didn't mean I couldn't make something yummy today though!  I have been thinking about my chocolate coconut no bake cookies for a while now.  It has been a long time since I have made them.  It's more like candy than cookie, though, and when I do make them, it is really hard to leave them be.  

    Then I started thinking about the no bake cookies we buy back at home from Cindy's Cake Shop.  Grumpy loves the Peanut Butter No Bakes - with no chocolate whatsoever in them.  They are pretty darn good, and I decided that I needed to try my hand at making some of these.  I make them smaller - I use my small cookie scoop to spoon them out onto the wax paper.  Smaller is better when you are eating a concentrated amount of sugar in my opinion.  What I love about these is they taste so much like peanut butter fudge on a health kick.

    The healthy whole oats make me feel a lot better about downing more than one of these.  The peanut butter flavor is great with a whole cup of peanut butter in the mixture.  These will be a small treat for Grumpy's lunch box this week.  Oh heck, they will probably make it into mine too!
