The Alder Collective Link Party No. 22

Thank you for joining us for party number 22!

I took last week off from blogging and from the party in order to have some spring break fun. It was the perfect combination of rest and adventure, and I’m excited to be back at school to finish the year strong.

On to the party!

Chocolate Peanut Butter No-Bake Bars

by

Chocolate peanut butter no-bake bars combine the mouthwatering richness of the classic cookies with the ease of making bars.

Who doesn’t remember these cookies from childhood?

Chocolate peanut butter no-bake bars combine the mouthwatering richness of the classic cookies with the ease of making bars.

My mom never made them much, but I have distinct memories of my Dad’s Mom, Granny, making treats like these cookies in the kitchen of her home in Mississippi. I remember my brothers and my cousins and I waiting impatiently for the cookies to set up, watching for that tell-tale change from wet to shiny that would signal they were ready to be devoured.

It’s entirely possible that we didn’t always wait for them to set up. In fact, way before the days of cake batter-flavored anything, my brothers and I pestered Granny so often for tastes of the cake batter she was preparing that she finally handed us the yellow Tupperware bowl full of batter, along with three spoons, and shooed us into the living room with strict instructions to not return until we’d emptied the bowl.

You may very well find yourself in the same situation Granny did when you make these chocolate peanut butter no-bake bars. The chocolate sauce is rich and thick; I doubt you’ll be able to resist dipping your finger- or a fresh strawberry, hint hint- in a couple times. After you’ve added the oatmeal and transferred the whole thing to a dish, feel free to sneak into a corner with a spoon and the saucepan to enjoy the remnants in peace.

Hello!

Thanks for showing up to party with us again! I’m wrapping my series on easy weeknight meals this week, so I shared my best tips for getting dinner on the table when you don’t feel like cooking. I also shared one of our all-time favorite meals, sausage & tortellini. And, in a post that has nothing to do with meal planning or recipes, I shared the significance behind the box of diapers I bought last week.
