Chocolate-Peanut Butter No-Bake Cookies [RECIPE]

Sometimes we just get a hankering for indulgent, chocolatey cookies. And because we are huge fans of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, pairing chocolate and peanut butter together in a cookie is just a no brainer. Yet when it is over 100 degrees outside, no one wants to turn on an oven. That doesn’t mean, however, that you need to turn to store-bought cookies. With these chocolate-peanut butter no-bake cookies, you can still whip up a batch of homemade cookie magic without even raising the temperature in your kitchen. You’re welcome!

Herb Melon Salad [RECIPE]

Earth is heating up pretty much everywhere, but especially here in Texas where we are no stranger to triple digit temperatures.
