Betty’s Favorite No-Bake Candy Tips

Over at Betty Cooks, we love finding ways to elevate easy desserts. Here are a few ideas: use silicone molds for a polished look, switch peppermint for orange extract for a twist, or try white chocolate instead of dark for a sweeter profile. This recipe checks all the boxes for sweet easy recipes, especially when you’re in a pinch.

How to Customize This Candy

Swap the cookie pieces for chopped almonds or festive sprinkles. Looking for a gluten-free version? Use gluten-free cookies. This flexibility is why I love working with quick and simple recipes like this—it adapts beautifully for any diet or celebration.
