Non bake goods for bake sale? Help, please!

[Mabelen]

I am supposed to donate two dozen baked goods for a bake sale on Wednesday but my oven is not working. They need to be individually wrapped, and yummy, healthy would be a big plus.

Is there anybody here with suggestions and recipes? :bigear: I have no idea where to start.

I appreciate your help.

No-bake Chocolate Oat Bars (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/No-Bake-Chocolate-Oat-Bars/Detail.aspx) are always a big hit here!

What about no baked/boiled cookies?
(If peanuts are okay)

2 c sugar
1/4 c cocoa
1/2 c milk
1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter--do not use "natural" it will not "set"
3 c quick cooking oatmeal
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 salt
1 stick butter

Combine sugar, butter, cocoa and milk in saucepan and cook for 1 min after reaching rolling boil. Remove from heat and add remaining ingredients. Mix well and drop by teaspoonsful onto waxed paper. Yield: 3 dozen

Rice Crispie treats?

[K&Rs Mom]

One pan, wrappable, and yummy, but not healthy by any stretch:

Reeses Bars

Crush 1 pkg graham crackers (one of the interior wrappers, not whole box)
Melt 2 sticks butter or margarine (no trans fat in butter, right?)
Mix crumbs, butter, 1 cup crunchy peanut butter & 1 bag powdered sugar (1 lb)
Pat into 9x13 pan
Let it sit a while to cool/harden
Melt 1 bag milk chocolate chips (not semisweet)
Spread chocolate over top of mixture in pan
Cut into bars when it's hardened

How about some no-bake cookies (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/No-Bake-Cookies-V/Detail.aspx)? Although this recipe requires the use of a stovetop.

No Bake Cookies? Is your stove top working?

No Bake Cookies are my favoritest cookies in the whole world. They may not be healthy, but I swear they have medicinal properties!


Recipe for No Bake Cookies:

2 C sugar
1/4 C cocoa
1/2 C milk
1/2 C margarine
1/2 t vanilla
pinch of salt
1/2 C peanut butter (I use creamy)
3 C rolled oats

Mix sugar, cocoa, milk, and margarine in a sauce pan. Stir over a medium heat until it boils. Remove from heat and cool 1 min. Then add remaining ingredients and mix well. My recipe says drop by the Tablespoon onto wax paper, but I use a 1/4 C to make large cookies. Let cool completely before removing from wax paper.

My dd's favorite "cookie" is also a nobake: Peanut Butter Rice Krispies. Here is the recipe:

Melt together while stirring over a med. heat:
1 stick margarine
35 large marshmellows
1 C. peanut butter

Stir in 6 Cups of Rice Krispies; spread out immediately in a 13 x 9 pan to cool.

Melt together, slowly over a low heat:
1 C chocolate chips
1 C butterscotch chips

Spread onto of rice krispies and then cool in the refrigerator.

Sorry about the duplicate recipes. I obviously type slower than the other posters.

I think we all must have replied at once. Looks like everyone had the same idea!

Peanut butter balls-
Mix equal parts peanut butter, honey, and dry powdered milk. Form into 1-inch balls. (I usually add more dry milk to make the texture firmer)

These are really good, and what I was thinking about posting after I saw that several other posters had beat me to the no-bake cookie idea. I usually add in miniature chocolate chips and oats, and then put them into the freezer to get them really firm. It might be difficult to sell them at a bake sale, though, unless you have a cooler there, as they need to stay refrigerated to retain firmness.

Another somewhat similar idea is to make candy buckeyes (or peanut butter balls, as those outside of Ohio might call them?). They're not healthy, though, just yummy. Or you could make fudge.

Yes, my first thought was Alphabet Pam's "totally-evil-responsible-for-many-added-pounds-on-my-hips no bake cookies." Those always work around here in a pinch. :-)

[gardening momma]

My mom always called no-bake cookies "Top of Stove Cookies".

A request: if you make them, please cook them long enough to let the sugar dissolve! (MIL's are always grainy)

[Mabelen]

Thank you all for the ideas and recipes. Now the problem is to decide which one to go for! You really have helped.
