​Looking to multitask holiday cookie making with involving and entertaining the kids?  This recipe is the perfect project to accomplish both in less than 30 minutes!  With only 4 main ingredients and very simple instructions, the kids can help measure, stir, and decorate without compromising adult sanity.
Grandma's No-Bake Drop Cookies
Ingredients:
  • 20 oz package of white almond bark
  • 4 cups of Rice Krispies cereal
  • 2.5 cups mini marshmallows
  • 2 cups peanuts (salted or otherwise - just no skins)
  • Optional: holiday sprinkles
Directions:
  1. Lay down wax paper on the counter (about 2 sheets 3'-4' long)
  2. Combine all dry ingredients in large mixing bowl and stir until blended.
  3. Melt almond bark (I microwaved mine in 1-minute increments on high, stirring between cycles... took 2 minutes total)
  4. Add the melted almond bark to the dry ingredients and stir to coat.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of mixture onto wax paper, and decorate immediately.
  6. Let dry/cool - and eat or freeze - or both!

I make this recipe every Christmas for a few reasons:
  1. It's easy and fun for my kids.
  2. It's always a delicious hit.
  3. It was one of my grandmother's recipes, and she is no longer with us, but we carry on the tradition for her.

** In loving memory of my Grandma Nina - the best baker I've ever known! **
