"This is a wonderful no-bake cookie ball with a crispy peanut butter, Rice Krispies and nut center covered with coconut. Maybe more a candy than a cookie. Very tasty!"

These not only taste good but they are pretty too. They were a nice compliment to the goodies I give out as gifts. I think my husband may be addicted to them as the leftovers from the goodies baskets didn't last long.

Really nice flavour & look so pretty on a Christmas cookie tray. My cereal was fresh but it seemed "soggy" in the cookies - not sure why.

Very nice and easy to make cookie. Everyone who has tried them loves them. Will be making more this year.

I love everything about these cookies. They are so pretty and wintery (is that a word?) looking for a Christmas tray. I made about 4 1/2 dozen so it was time consuming to roll them, chill and then glaze and roll in coconut but well worth it. Next year I will line up the kids and get them rolling too. I used at least a cup of coconut on mine. This will be a regular on my goody trays. Thx Sharlene and Happy Holiday!
