The second dessert prepared by Michelle in the South Arm Seniors Kitchen is a No Bake Cookie.
These No Bake Cookies freeze well. It is a healthy snack for your kids’ lunch box. You can substitute the peanut butter with sunflower seed butter if your kids’ school is a peanut free zone which most schools are.

Chow times is not good any more 🙁 Where is Ben and the restaurant reviews? Plus, what kinda country doesn’t allow peanut at school? 🙁
Ben is in Malaysia looking after famiy matters and many Canadian kids have DIED from peanut alergies.One death is too many
It is indeed sad that “Sad” doesn’t realized the catastrophe that can be caused by peanuts! Have seen a number of peanut allergy attacks and it can be dead serious especially when someone is suffocating!
Suanne, in light of a recent comment I wanted to tell you that Chowtimes is great and we love your reviews and recipes. It must be tough to run the show on your own and you’re doing an amazing job. Thank you for continuing to educate and entertain your readers!
Hi Willow, thank you for your support.
I love all the recipes from the community kitchens! They are practical and definitely usable. Thank you Suanne
