"My 4-year old daughter actually had the idea for this little twist on an old favorite. We were making regular no bake cookies and she said "Mommy, I want some marshmallows in it." Next time I make them I am going to substitute graham cracker crumbs for the oats to make S'more cookies!"

I think these are wonderful spin-off to the traditional no=bake and my recipe#252047. I love the additional marshmellow. I think even a bit more p.b. next time and as you even suggested adding graham cracker crumbs. Maybe a combo of both oats and/or graham crumbs. So many possibilites. Thanks for sharing this recipe Emmy. 5 stars for the creativity.~ Tagged and made for Spring's PAC 08'

Has anyone made the Rocky road no bake cookies yet?

Very yummy! My 4 yr old asked me to make "marshmallow cookies" so I set out to find a recipe that was no bake. This was perfect. The marshmallows did get a little melty and gooey but after they set up they were just fine. Not any messier than any other no bake. Thanks!
