My husband is a fan of any candy containing peanut butter, so this recipe was incredibly tempting when I happened upon it on Pinterest. Not only do these reese’s pieces no-bake cookies contain Reese’s Pieces. They also contain a hearty helping of peanut butter. Some health-conscious readers may turn up their noses at the corn syrup this recipe calls for, but cookies aren’t supposed to be healthy anyway. If you only make these occasionally, I figure it’s all okay. And they’re so good!
