It has been so dang hot! That doesn’t mean I want to buy cookies or not have sweet treats on my counter. So I turn to no bake recipes.  These were so good I barely had enough left for the photo.

No-bake recipes have been really popular in the last few years. Most of the the protein treats you read about our no-bake. What I love about this recipe is that you can add or delete ingredients to make it custom. I was low on oats so upped the rice cereal and they were great. They are really sweet so maybe adding some dried cherries to add a little tartness, would be good.

How will you customize them?
