Fast Kitchen Creations - No-Bake Cookies

When the oven is occupied with dinner but you still want to provide a sweet treat to end a family dinner, this might do the trick. And, you can be creative because there is no law that say you have to use butterscotch chips. In fact, I'm currently leaning towards chocolate chips to get a peanut butter cup taste going with the extra crunch.

1 1/2 cup butterscotch pieces (our your choice!)
1/2 cup peanut butter
6 cups flake cereal or even crisped rice cereal

In a large pot, melt the butterscotch pieces and peanut butter together stirring constantly to prevent burning. Remove from the heat and stir in the flake cereal of your choice. Mix well. Drop by spoonfuls onto sheets of waxed paper and let set.

Just thought about trying this recipe with chocolate chips and a raisin bran cereal. Sounds like it would taste like a fruit-nut chocolate bar!
