In this house peanut butter is life.

Sometimes it is the *only* thing left for dinner.

Don’t judge.

As a kid I had this amazing children’s cookbook. It was filled with incredibly simple recipes even the youngest cooks and bakers could handle. It was in this cookbook that I discovered the most delicious recipe for “no-bake peanut butter cookies” comprised of only peanut butter, nonfat dry milk powder, and honey.

I realize it sounds strange.

I mean who uses dry milk powder in 2019?

Zella is skeptical.

(Or that might have been the “smile” I requested from her).

I decided to update my childhood favorite snack and swap out the honey for Truvia Nectar for a slightly lower calorie option. If you prefer to use honey, feel free – just double the amount.

If you are feeling especially daring, dunk these suckers in melting chocolate…or better yet, skip the milk powder altogether, sub in a crap ton of powdered sugar, and THEN roll them in that chocolate.

Buckeyes.

You’re welcome.
