Last night for Young Women's we had a Dessert Cooking Class. We made 3 quick and easy no-bake desserts (in one hour) that are all really yummy, so I thought I would share the recepies.

(If you have never had Almond Bark Drop Cookies, you have to make them. They are rediculously good!)

1. Almond Bark Drop Cookies
INGREDIENTS
1 pound Almond Bark
½ cup Crunchy Peanut Butter
1 cup peanuts
2 1/2 cups crisp rice cereal
1 cup miniature marshmallows
DIRECTIONS
In a microwave oven, melt the Almond Bark and peanut butter; stir until well blended. Fold in the peanuts, crisp rice cereal, and marshmallows. Drop by heaping spoonfuls onto waxed paper lined baking sheets.
Chill until set. Store in refrigerator.

2. Peanut Butter Fudge
INGREDIENTS
4 cups white sugar
1 cup milk
1 (7 ounce) jar marshmallow creme
2 2/3 cups peanut butter
Chocolate, if desired
DIRECTIONS
Boil milk and sugar in a medium saucepan for three minutes over medium-high heat. Remove from heat, and immediately stir in the marshmallow creme and peanut butter.
Pour and spread into a greased jelly roll pan. Melt chocolate and drizzle on top. Cool completely before cutting into squares and serving.

3. Puppy Chow
