If you read her notes carefully, though, you will see that I’ve changed the recipe quite a bit. I’m sure that the original is delicious too, but I wanted to adapt her no-bake cookies to include some of my family’s personal favorites: Rice Krispies and salted peanuts. After all, you can’t go wrong by adding peanuts to a chocolate recipe…they’re a match made in heaven!

And let me tell you, my kids LOVE these cookies. And I love that I can stir them together in a bowl in about 10 minutes or less — actually, it’s probably more like 5 minutes — and then just plop them in mounds to refrigerate and set. No heating up the oven, no rolling out dough, no measuring flour. That’s IT!

No Bake Rocky Road Cookies

Prep: 10 minutes
Total: 10 minutes
Servings 36

Ingredients
  

  • ¾ cup chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon oil I used coconut oil but canola oil would be a fine substitute
  • 1 ½ cups crisp rice cereal such as Rice Krispies
  • 2 cups miniature marshmallows
  • ¼ cup coarsely chopped salted peanuts

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, melt chocolate chips and oil in the microwave until smooth, stirring every 30 seconds (it took my chocolate about 1 minute total).
  • In a large bowl, toss together remaining ingredients.
  • Pour melted chocolate over cereal mixture and gently toss until completely coated.
  • Use a tablespoon measure to drop onto a parchment-lined baking sheet OR into lined mini muffin cups.
  • Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until chocolate is set and cookies are hard.

    1. I know, Gayle…any excuse to NOT turn on my oven is very welcome these days. It’s SO hot here right now!

  1. My kids would love these. Similar to our favorite granola bars – but the no bake is a big plus in my book.

    1. Thanks, Karen! I agree — at this time of year, “no bake” is a BIG plus! Your granola bars sound delicious too, though!

  2. Gosh Aunt Bee always has some killer eats!!! I LOVE haystack cookies but can’t remember the last time I had them. My mom always makes them with butterscotch. Your version looks AMAZING. Who can resist Rocky Road???

  3. What a great easy treat! I love your version and Aunt Bee’s! Maybe I’ll combine some aspects from both for the ultimate snack 😉
