So….when the SHTF it doesn’t have to be all about MRE’s and freeze-dried foods – these Peanut Butter/Chocolate No Bake Cookies would be a welcome treat.
Asteroids could be crashing through the atmosphere and zombies moaning in the streets – Missiles flying from N Korea and the fake “news” media would still be taking about Russia.
You had me cracking up with this one – then a bit sad as it is so true.
Yum, thanks for the recipe. Brings back memories of my Home Ec class…we made no-bake cookies. I always include sweets in my preps and love rotating thru them. 🙂
