At church in Genoa we took turns who would bring the refreshments after Mass.  It was mid-summer and I was up.  If I turned on the oven it would heat up the whole trailer.  So I did a Google Search on the internet – my key words were “No bake desert”.  This is what a found and it was rich and wonderful.

No Bake Dessert Bars

20 chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos), crushed

8 oz. cream cheese, softened

2 cups confectioners’ sugar

¾ c. peanut butter

12 oz. frozen whipped topping, thawed

Press crushed cookies into the bottom of a 9”x13” pan, reserving a few for decoration.  In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese and sugar.  Stir in the peanut butter until well blended, then fold in the whipped topping.  Spread over the crushed cookie base, sprinkle the remaining cookie chunks on top.  Freeze for 1 – 2 hours.  Thaw 10-15 minutes before cutting and serving.
