Baking with kids is just one of those activities we often dread because of the mess, but that once we get going, is just such an utterly lovely mum-child moment we wouldn’t be without.
However, a lot of time, things take too long and they loose interest, leaving us there alone in our flour-covered kitchens waiting for the oven-timer to go off.
Well, guess what, mamas – these tasty little bakes are not only non-bake, meaning no baking time or oven even needed, but they are also pretty healthy, as far as treats are concerned.
Ready, stready, (no) bake:
1. Dark Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal Cookie Bars

2. Salted Caramel Coconut Macaroons
Shredded coconut, melted caramels, and salted butter combine in this easy recipe, which can make two dozen macaroons when you’re finished. The dipped-chocolate bottoms may be our favorite part since it balances out the sprinkle of sea salt on the top.
