Coco-Nutty No Bake Cookies
Coco-Nutty No Bake Cookies
Have you ever watched a commercial advertising some delicious and delectable looking food and then couldn’t get the image out of your mind? Well, that’s kinda what happened to me. I did a Throw Back Thursday post on Facebook and talked about what school lunches looked like as kids. 
My favorite happened to be No-Bake cookie day, well, that was all it took. I began thinking about them. Dreaming about them. Obsessing about them.
Now, most of you know that I do not believe in dieting, but enjoying things in moderation. The key to that is knowing if you can want to moderate it. I don’t want to moderate No-Bakes. I want to eat the pan! I CAN, of course, but I don’t want to. Know thyself, right?!
That’s where this recipe came about. I decided to try to make the No-Bakes a bit healthier and see if I wanted to enjoy them in moderation. I think you will agree, these are amazing and best of all they lasted more than a day at my house. Win!
