I haven't made these cookies for Easter since the boys were little but I guess I was feeling nostalgic and I wanted to bring back this Easter tradition. They are a fun treat while you're waiting for the Easter Egg Hunt to begin.
Chocolate No Bake Cookies aka Easter Basket Cookies
2 cups white sugar
1/2 cup butter (some recipes call for 1/4 cup)
4 T. cocoa
1/3 cup milk
3 cups quick oats
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup peanut butter
In a sauce pan, combine coca, butter, milk and sugar. Bring to a boil and boil between 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, stirring constantly. Do not boil longer.
Remove from heat and add oats, peanut butter and vanilla. Stir all together. Drop by scoop or spoonful onto waxed paper. I use the medium scoop and my mini muffin tin from Pampered Chef. Or my small scoop for the dropped version. I sprayed my tin with cooking oil and they popped right out of the muffin tin.
The muffin tin gives a basket shape and the spoonfuls give a nest shape.
Press three small jelly beans into each cookie for the eggs.
I think they turned out okay this time but honestly Rice Krispie Bars and Chocolate No Bake Cookies are my nemesis in the kitchen. The struggle is real and y'all know that I can bake.
Happy Easter!

I love those! They are a favourite for potlucks and bake sales, aren't they? (minus the jellybeans as eggs at other times of the year). -Jenn
