Ranking #1 in nearly every "favorite cookie" poll, the chocolate chip cookie is pretty much the go-to cookie of choice for both kids and grownups alike.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

Very simple recipe. It fit into the 13x9 nicely for me. I do think I'd like it have a stronger peanut butter flavor though and may increase it next time. The family enjoyed them though!

I made this as directed and it worked. I have no idea why it didn't work for some of the others. Maybe the type of peanut butter? It mixed just fine and fit in the pan. It's the same proportions as your basic rice krispies bars so I'm not sure how you can goof that up!

I love this simple treat. I have used it a few times but I do suggest melting the marshmallows after u melt the butter and then add the peanut butter. makes it creamier I think.

I think the recipe is great. I heated the ingredients in pan, buttered the 9 x 13 inch pan. I put the cereal directly in serving pan than pour the heated ingredients over the top, then mix together.

One of my favorite quick cookie treats. Try adding a cup of chocolate chips and substitute 1 cup of broken pretzels for 1 cup of cereal. Yes the chips will melt but I think you will love this way of making the treats too.

This tasted good, but was VERY difficult to stir. Try adding more peanut butter to be able to stir and to be able to get it even into the dish. Do not add more marshmallows as it will be even stickier.

I only had crunchy peanut butter but it still turned out great the nuts just added to it! It was sooo easy and fast! My kids thought they were the best treat ever! Thanks for sharing it!!!!

While this was a very tasty recipe, Heloo is correct in that it simply is not measured out correctly. Even when I added 1 Cup extra marshmallows and 1/2 cup extra peanut butter, and put in only 1 Cup less Cheerios then it called for, I could only fill less than HALF of the 13x9 pan that the recipe called for. Now I can either use up more ingredients to fill the other half+, or I can have a pathetic 9 tiny pieces for the household. Very disappointing volume wise, though it is definitely a tasty treat. I would highly suggest using a MUCH smaller pan though,

I loved this simple recipe. It was the exact amount of ingredients, and I will be using it soon! Thanks!

This is quite the stingy recipe. The amount of peanut butter and marshmallows called for barely cover the amount of cheerios. I would add about 1/4 or so more peanut butter and another cup of marshmallows if you are going to use 5 cups of cheerios. Also, I recommend using a larger pan as it's very difficult to thoroughly mix all ingredients. It's hard to mess up a no bake, 4 ingredient recipe... but they have succeeded!
