No Bakes

This discussion is going to mean alot to me. I was never taught how to bake and I am afraid of utilizing my oven as I once almost caught the kitchen on fire attempting to prepare a new recipe to me of cauliflower pizza.

I love desserts. Especially frugal desserts. I would love to learn from you and toss recipes between we teammates.

Thank you!

    Peanut Butter Energy Balls

    peanut butter
    pancake syrup
    oatmeal

    In a microwavable bowl, soften peanut butter for 10 seconds every so often. Do not cook for too much.

    Mix in pancake syrup.

    Then, mix in oatmeal.

    Form into balls.

    Lay onto a cookie sheet or pizza tray.

    Keep chilled.

    "Buckeyes"

    1 pyrex pan
    1 jar of peanut butter
    1 container of chocolate icing

    Spread the bottom of pyrex with a layer of peanut butter.
    On top of that layer, spread chocolate icing.

    Place in freezer for a few hours.

    Then, place in fridge.

    Cut in squares before serving.

    A little something salty. A little something sweet.

    They are addictive!

    Here is something sweet and salty. All it takes is 3 ingredients and a Crock-Pot! They are called Crock-Pot Peanut Clusters. Need a dessert but low on money? These are totally frugal.
