Easy, Sweet & Satisfying

These No-Bake Monster Cookie Balls have got it all going on. Chewy, crunchy, sweet, a little salty and lots of little bits chocolate. With just six ingredients and no baking, they’re super easy to put together. And so satisfying to snack on!

The same great taste as monster cookie bars (or my flourless monster cookie bar recipe) but even quicker and easier. For even more monster fun, you have to try my Peanut Butter Cup Stuffed Monster Cookies. They’re out of this world!

Back in the Sweet Swing of Things

With the end of the school year, preparing for our trip to Asia, traveling for 2-1/2 weeks, and jet-lag getting the best of me for the past week, I guess I took a little unintentional break from the blog.

It’s felt great to have a little break, but now I’m ready to get back in the swing of things and share all these yummy recipes I have up my sleeve. Like these No-Bake Monster Cookie Balls! They’re one of our favorite treats and sweet snacks right now. The kids love helping me make them and of course, we all love eating them!

Step into the kitchen with me to make a batch of these little beauties!

Flour-Free and Simply Delicious

Just six simple ingredients is all it takes to get these balls rolling. No eggs, no added sodium, flour or white sugar yet they still have all the flavor of everyone’s favorite monster cookie dough.

If you’re like me, you might even sneak a few bites from the spoon before rolling them into bite-sized balls that are easy to store and easy to eat. While not exactly monster cookie energy bites, they do have a little bit of protein from nut butter, a little bit of fiber from whole grain oats, and a whole lot of yum.

A Quick Treat Any Time of Day

We keep a container of these yummy little balls in the refrigerator for a quick treat any time of the day. We love eating them cold, especially in the heat of the summer, but you could certainly let them come to room temp and they’ll still hold their form just fine.
