No bake recipes are perfect for any occasion. The best part about them is that they don’t need an over so they’re great for hot summers.

In addition, kids love helping with this fun recipe… and it’s safe too! No bake recipes are even known for their ability to cut down on energy costs!

This no bake cereal bar recipe is the perfect snack for any occasion. I remember that one day when I made this recipe for a day at the park with some friends.

This snack didn’t melt, didn’t turn sticky, and when all was said and done… there were NO leftovers! These no-bake cereal bars were a huge hit!

Yield: 15 bars

  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1-1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

1) In a large bowl, combine the first four ingredients; set aside. In a large saucepan, bring corn syrup and sugar to a boil. Cook and stir just until sugar is dissolved.

2) Remove from the heat; stir in peanut butter and vanilla. Pour over cereal mixture and toss to coat evenly. Spread into a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Cool. Cut into 3-in. squares.

No-Bake Crispy Peanut Butter Balls

July 24, 2008 by Kayla · Leave a Comment 

They’re crispy, they’re sweet, they’re delicious, and they don’t even require an oven! They’re no-bake cookies… or something of the sort.

I especially love this recipe because (obviously) it’s so easy! There are four easy ingredients that I usually have in my house so no matter the day, these no-bake butter balls are on the way!

For children especially, this recipe is so much fun to make. Usually, baking is only semi-hands-on for kids (partially) because of the dangers associated with ovens or stoves. With this delicious no-bake peanut butter ball recipe, they can help with the whole process!

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (Use reduced fat for less calories.)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2-3 cups of crispy rice cereal

Directions:
1) Combine the peanut butter, honey, and vanilla. Stir in enough cereal to make balls.

2) Place the balls on waxed paper and chill. Enjoy!

As a little hint, when rolling the balls (after step one) try wetting your hands a little bit. This makes it easier to roll the balls into a ball, without it sticking to your hands too much. Once you get these tasty balls all rolled all you have to do is chill and wait!

Once you take a bite, be sure to share because everyone will be wondering how you came across this great no-bake peanut butter ball recipe!

My time is limited; I needed some no-bake recipes.

Have you ever been caught in the situation were you needed food and needed it fast!

Perhaps you can remember a time when there was 15 minutes before you had to be on that conference call and your kids kept wondering when their afternoon snack would be done.

It seemed like there wouldnt be enough time to do it all and then thats when you remembered it; a book of no-bake recipes. You immediately felt a sense of relief, now knowing that you could finish the kids cookie bars and join your conference call on timekeeping both your kids and your clients happy!

Well if this sounds like you, or maybe you wish it was you then you certainly have come to the right place. No-bake recipes are easier than the more conventional put-in the oven recipes. They usually take about the same amount of prep time but you save the difference in baking time. Just like the name says, these recipes have no need for baking. Sounds too good to be true, but no-bake recipes are definitely a time saver.

These types of recipes are not only good for people who are lacking the time to bake but maybe your oven is broken or not working. You need something to take to the kids soccer game for an after game snack and they requested oatmeal cookies. What are you going to do? Well, just whip out your book of no-bake recipes; youve avoided a possible temper tantrum and once again the day is saved.

Another scenario is maybe you are all out of eggs. You have the time, the oven and the craving for your favorite recipe, but not the eggs. What will you do? Simply go find a recipe which is no-bake and doesnt require eggs. It is as simple as that and you guessed it; the day is saved.

No-bake recipes are easy, fast, and just as good as the more conventional recipes. You have saved time without sacrificing quality taste.
