No-Bake Chocolate Almond Cocoa Krispie Cookies

No-Bake Chocolate Cookies RecipeLast night, in a fit of ‘I NEED chocolate, and I NEED it now’, I cooked up an old favorite cookie that requires no baking and very little effort. I’ve recently seen variations of this recipe on several other blogs.  Truth is, this cookie has been around for, well, ever.  My sister and I were stirring pots of this cocoa concoction as young girls.  It was hard to wait the few minutes while they cooled before sinking our teeth into a mound of shiny fudgey chocolate.  If you have cocoa in your pantry, and just a few other staples, you too can stir up a pot of cookie heaven in just minutes.
No-Bake Chocolate Cookies RecipeTraditionally, this cookie is made with oatmeal, and often times peanut butter is a listed ingredient.  I personalized my version by swapping Cocoa Krispies for the oatmeal, and almond butter for the peanut butter.  Nuts are optional but I added almonds for a little crunch.

Although no adult in their right mind would pass up these cookies, this is such a ‘kid friendly’ recipe.  When searching for a special treat to add to a school lunch, imagine the smile on your child’s face when they pull one of these cookies from their lunch box.  Or better yet, let the kids make them.  They will feel like such accomplished little cooks, and extras can be shared with teachers and friends!  I guarantee you they’ll be a hit!
