No Bake Cookies

Oh yummy yummy summer food! I love to BBQ, R has not even used the grill his Dad got us for our wedding two years ago, I won't let him touch it :)

Tonight I grilled up juicy burgers topped with melty cheese, crunchy warm bacon and juicy pickles....oh my mouth is watering all over again. I was going to take an after picture but... uh forgot.



After that settled a little I made what is probably one of my favorite cookies of all times. I don't know if it is because they are chocolate and peanutbutter, or because they are soooo easy to make. I have probably talked about them before but if you have not tried "No Bake Cookies" you are missing something.
