No Oven Necessary

Merry Christmas Eve! Need to bring something to tomorrow’s festivities but don’t have the time between last minute shopping (shame on you) and wrapping? This recipe is a crowd pleaser and so easy you don’t even have to bake them! Yes, you read that right. No-Bake Cookies (originally from Eating Well) are a cinch and the perfect way to take a breather from the hectic holiday craze.

Ingredients
8 low-fat (whole wheat if possible) graham crackers
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup peanut butter (I used natural crunchy)
8 tablespoons honey
Unsweetened coconut

After mashing up the graham crackers, mix together all of the ingredients in a medium-sized bowl.

Pat dough into small cookies and lightly press in coconut.

For the best results, refrigerate a few hours before serving. And there you have it! The quickest cookies you could ask for…takes at most ten minutes. Hey, fellow college kids: this is a great recipe to satisfy a sweet tooth after break when you’re back in your dorms. Little mess, no oven necessary.

I wish you all a very Merry Christmas!

Sprinkled with Love,
Lauren
