No-bake cookies make even the most oven-shy baker look like a hero. You'll see them at bake sales, fundraisers, and in millions of homes across the country as an after-school snack. We've cut out a lot of the unnecessary butter and added chocolate chips, providing firmness, texture, and a great gloss to these cookies.

Laxmom26 here- I came back to let you know that these cookies are more candy than cookie and taste fantastic! It took over an hour to firm up do I suspect I should have cooked the chocolate/peanut butter mixture closer to a fast simmer...that said yummy chewy choc-peanutty delights! And I did use Truvia successfully!

Just made these and as I write this they are cooling. I substituted Truvia for sugar and am hoping it works out well. My first look tells me they take longer than 15 minutes to firm and dry...so my opinion is affected by my use of Truvia as well as my first look...more later, hopefully successful! They taste great.
