Start timing your boil after the syrup comes to a rapid boil that you can't stir down. I have the oatmeal and peanut butter measured into a large crock bowl. I pour the syrup over that mixture and begin to stir. You can tell by looking at the mixture that it is ready to drop onto a silpat mat. These are wonderful!! No need to add extra oatmeal at all, or to cook longer than one minute if you get the syrup to a rapid boil before you start timing. They are peanut butter no bakes, there's no chocolate added because they are PEANUT BUTTER no bakes.

So easy and quick to throw together after work! I used shredded cheddar cheese instead of cutting it into strips. That's all I had on hand, so it worked! This is so good and creamy. My hubby loved it, this recipe is a keeper for sure.

AWESOME recipe. Made exactly like it says here, tried the espresso powder as suggested in one review. I will make them this way forever! That powder gives such a rich, coffee flavor. Very good, got rave reviews at home and at work. Thanks for the great recipe! There is no liqeur in this recipe. Also, if you change around all the ingredients, you aren't rating THIS recipe.

I am terrible at making biscuits!!! This recipe, however, seemed to work very well. I read many of the reviews, the one advising you to use a little milk until the mixture leaves the side of the bowl is a good one. I added it gradually, and found that I didn't need the whole amount. THIS TIME, but when making in the future, I know I may need it all. Grandma used to say the key to biscuits was not to overmix, or knead in extra flour, I did what she said, they were light and fluffy. Thanks, JP!

I have made this recipe exactly as it is written 5 times now, it is always well received. Thank you for sharing. Couldn't be a better way to do this, if you are having troubles, you aren't doing something right.

Fantastic, had no issues with the recipe at all, I doubled the batch so I could use the entire bag of toffee bits, it made quite a few. My hubby likes it as much, if not more than the traditional chocolate kind. Thank you for sharing this recipe. Oh, yeah, I never do the double boiler thing with almond bark, I microwave! Less stuff to wash up!

This recipe is TERRIFIC! My hubby doesn't like coconut, so I just left it out, this is a wonderful sub for the plain sweet potatoes with marshmallows, we have been using this recipe for years, and would never go back to the plain sweet potatoes. Thanks, CINDY!!!

Because I commute 1 hour each way to work, I simplify this recipe. I also use more ground beef, 1#, I buy the cubed hash browned potatoes in the freezer section, along with the frozen diced onions. I use whole milk, and make this recipe as stated. I shave lots of time from assemblage with the 'easy' ingredients. Very hearty, creamy, filling on a cold winter's night. My family loves this, we have been making it for about 5 years now, I was surprised to find it on this site. To thicken this use potato flakes, it works great! The potato flakes make it a richer, thicker soup with substance.

I have made this recipe for years, exactly the same, but my baking dish calls for an 8x11 glass pan. The recipe fits it perfectly. I am amazed to see it on here. I sold Tupperware in the 70's, one of my hostesses had this at her party, I got her recipe and have made it since that time.

I have made this recipe exactly as stated. It is rich, creamy, amazing goodness. Don't worry about fat or calories, it is a wonderful indulgence at least the first time. I'll try to make it with the suggested variations, but as is it is a wonderful recipe. I served it with Asiago garlic bread last night, accompanied by a nice salad and a perfectly chilled chardonnay. Try it, you won't be sorry! This is a new family favorite.

My sister and I made 4 batches of these for a Halloween party involving 116 kids. They were a bit of work, I ground oreo cookies filling and all in a mini food processor. My sister and I worked on them together. We rolled the finished mice in powdered sugar and cocoa. I did submit a photo for your viewing. I found edible black sugar pearls for the eyes,(In Omaha, Ne. at Mangelsen's) which made them look like real eyes, little and beady. Kind of creepy. The tails were difficult to find, I would prefer something easier to attach, and a bit more realistic, but have not found the right item just yet. We made them all up one day prior to the party, then put them on a round platter for pictures, then I stored them in an airtight plastic lidded container in the refrigerator because they had sour cream in them. We placed them on a very large round black platter right before the party. The kids really thought they were neat. They are work, we had trouble getting the eyes to attach, we discovered if we stuck one eye on, then held it in with our thumb, added the eye to the other side, then pushed each eye toward the other it helped to anchor them into the mice, as well as shape the nose into a more realistic shape. We also used a cookie scoop to get the dough into a ball. Quite fun!

I made this exactly as suggested, we really didn't like the texture or flavor. Sorry.

GREAT recipe. I've made it 3 times this week, it's one I got in a magazine years ago, but misplaced. My family loves it, be sure to use the right sized pan, if you don't, then the bread will be doughy. Also, sometimes it takes mine 45 minutes, other times it takes 50 minutes. Just test it with a toothpick. I always start the timer at the lowest suggested baking time. That way I don't have burned stuff. Also, make sure you have an oven thermometer. I don't like low star ratings because an oven is off, or somebody changed the recipe, or didn't use the right pan size.

I made 6 loaves of bread, we are not beer drinkers. I had to buy a 6 pack, so felt it gave me an opportunity to try it 6 ways. I first made the mix in quart zip lock bags to take to a bake-a-thon at my sister's house. When I got there, I had the bags marked, some had seasonings, both the onion and italian seasonings, some were white or wheat. They all tasted very good. The wheat seemed to make a heartier bread. There was nothing I would change or disliked about any of the variations. I would like to tell you, always make sure your self rising flour is fresh! The leavening added to it will not work as well as you would expect if it is old. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

This is a nice beginning to a recipe I grew up with. My family is a homemade noodle family from at least 4 generations I am aware of. To make this recipe for a family of 4, I use 5 eggs, mix in enough flour to form a dough. Then I put the dough on a well floured counter, mix in enough flour to keep the dough from being sticky. I roll it out paper thin, in a circle. I cut the circle in half, put the right half on the left half, then cut it again. I then have a pie shaped piece of dough that is 4 layers thick, I roll it up jelly roll fashion, cut the noodles in thin strips. I shake the flour out of the little pinwheels, and place them on a cookie sheet. I set them aside to dry a little. (I never let them dry all the way, because generally they are made when I need them) Boil your broth, place a few noodles in the broth at a time, stir to keep them from sticking together. Pick the meat off the chickena, add at the very end. We serve this over mashed potatoes. This is a tradition that is almost religious in my family. Thank you for trying to put a recipe out here. It is not easy for people that have not seen the process. I am afraid it might be a dying tradition. We just spent a weekend with my nieces teaching them all to make noodles, the youngest was 6, she rolled and cut and did a fine job. Keep practicing if you have trouble, it is well worth the effort. There is really nothing wrong with this recipe. I never add any liquid to my noodles, I am 51 and have been making them s

Easy to make, I didn't use a water bath, the recipe doesn't mention doing it, so I didn't. No problems at all. Follow the directions to the letter, and you will have a beautiful cheesecake. I added a tsp. of vanilla like one reviewer said. This cake is very rich, I let my guests have a choice between cherry or blueberry topping. They all raved about how good this was. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

Very good, great flavor, wonderful on our thanksgiving turkey

I really changed the recipe. I used all frozen mixed vegetables, I cut up one stalk celery, 1/3 c. frozen onions, satueed them in the butter, added 2 c. frozen vegetables and 1 c. frozen chunk hashbrowns. Cooked for about 5 minutes, then added the flour, cooked until it was a little thick. I added the chicken broth and milk to this, cooked until it became thick. Seasoned it with pepper and celery seed. I used the 9 inch pie crust, rolled it a little to fit a 10" pie pan, topped it with the other crust, (because other reviews said it made too much filling.) baked it for 45 min. at 350. It was delicious! Will make again.

My family had a HUGE Halloween party on Oct. 21st. We all got together, 5 sisters, and a sister in law, along with our spouses to carve the 30 pumpkins for the party on Oct. 15th. I made a big bowl of this to take. It was gone in about 15 minutes, and a total hit! I didn't change anything in the recipe. One of my sisters commented that she remembered the caramel corn I used to make them when they were little. Being the oldest, I used to do all the popcorn making/popping in our house. 8 kids took a lot of popcorn on Sunday nights. Thanks for a great recipe, it brought back memories that are dear to us, esp. since we have one parent that has passed.
