Peanut Butter No-Bakes and the Weekend

It was kind of a quiet weekend for us.

We did our usual Friday night pool playing

(hoping it won't be long before friends join us)

We just got the man cave up and running about a month ago.

Our Friday night pool playing kind of lead to a late start on Saturday.

We went to Thiel's Wheels Backyard BBQ in Upper Sandusky.

Check out their Web Site for up-coming events.

We got there late so we missed all the games and good times,

but we enjoyed the band for a couple hours.

If you visit their Facebook page you can see all the pictures of the BBQ.

On Sunday we rode the bike back north where I am (Angie) originally from.

I have two daughters that still live in the area.

My oldest daughter just celebrated a birthday and I wanted to be

there to see her. And I miss my grandchildren something terrible.

On our return to Marion we stopped to see my youngest daughter

and newest grand baby. 

We continued on through Toledo and stopped at Tony Packo's to eat.

This visit to Tony Packo's was my first time there.

I had no idea that Tony Packo's is all about German food.

I was in German food heaven right down to the cherry strudel.

I will for sure be going back there.

We are bringing you a sweet treat today.

Who loves no-bake cookies?

The inspiration for this recipe came from South Your Mouth.

We made a couple changes and we will fill you in after you

drool all over these pictures.

They are the perfect no-bake cookie.

This is what we did:

Peanut Butter No-Bake Cookies

2 c. sugar

Dash of salt

1/2 c. butter (1 stick)

1/2 c. Butter Pecan, International Delight coffee creamer

1 c. peanut butter

1 tsp. vanilla

3 c. quick cooking oats

1/2 c. dark chocolate baking chips

1/2 c. chopped pecans

In a large saucepan bring to boil the sugar, salt, butter, and creamer. Boil for 1 full minute. Remove from heat.

Add peanut butter and vanilla. Stir well.

Add oatmeal and stir until fully incorporated.

We left that mixture sit and cool for about 5-10 minutes.

We added the pecans and stirred them in well.

We then added the dark chocolate chips and just stirred until the chocolate was marbled.

We then used a large cookie scoop and scooped the mixture onto waxed paper. We used the back of the cookie scoop to kind of press them down a bit.

Let them set and completely cool before eating.

See ya'all soon
