I give this 5 stars because it's very easy, delicious and flexible - even though I didn't quite have the ingredients needed on hand, this cookie turned out excellent! I used regular peanut butter because I didn't have natural, and I only had about 3/4 cup of dark brown sugar, so I used that and about 1/2 cup of white sugar to compensate. I had dutch cocoa, but was slightly short of the 1/3 cup needed. My cookies were still very chocolate-y. I also added 1 tbsp of brewed coffee to help emphasize the chocolate flavor. Because I cut back on the overall sugar, they were definitely not as sweet as the usual no bake cookie, but that was my plan (I think regular no bake cookies are waaaay too sweet). My result was a moderately sweet, very deep chocolate no bake cookie. I will definitely be using this recipe again. Thanks for posting!
