Monster cookies, Cookie Monster approved! I just ate Ambrosia salad because that oldie stayed rent free in my head. 😄

Over here in the UK we have a thing called Chocolate Crispie cakes. Basically you melt milk chocolate in a pan, mix that up with either cornflakes or rice crispies, put them in a cupcake case and then leave them to chill. They're usually made around Easter time and are decorated with mini chocolate eggs

That sounds so good! I’ll have to give it a try sometime.😊 Kinda reminds me of rice crispy treats, though those are typically made with marshmallows. My sister makes a version of rice crispy treats that I absolutely love, using marshmallows and peanut Butter, and topping it with a layer or two of melted chocolate, which she leaves to cool before serving! They’re soo good! I’m also partial to chocolate rice crispy treats, which is essentially the same as the regular ones, only using cocoa crispies instead of plain ones. Those are also super good! The recipe you mentioned reminds me of the chocolate rice crispies, so I’ll definitely give it a try! My favorite kinds of chocolate is milk with little crisps in them, and white chocolate cookies and cream. Chocolate just tastes so much better with a little bit of crunch to it.🥰

We have something similar in the US, there called haystack cookies if I remember right. It uses chocolate chips and chow mein noodles.

My aunt used to make those, she used jelly beans (there's a company in the US that makes egg shaped jelly beans) she used to also make royal icing birds and bunnies for inside.

Mine are no-bakes. Tollhouse cookie bars. Yes I’m that old

It wasn't a favorite, but I remember at a friend's house having pistachio flavored pudding with flavored mini marshmallows mixed in. It was called treasure -something, I think. The receipt was either on the marshmallow bag or the box of pudding mix. I tried it again recently and the flavors were SO strong I could only eat a very small amount.

I'd only heard of worms & dirt as an adult but haven't tried any of them. Maybe I'm too old for these recipes to be from my childhood.

Marshmallow popcorn balls.

[@ybunnygurl]

Worms and dirt... We call those Dirt Cups. And monster cookies are so much sugar already the idea of icing makes my teeth hurt. 😅

What you call confetti squares, we call simply peanut butter squares. We make them every Christmas.

I forgot my favourite used to be coconut macaroon cookies, not to be confused with macaron cookies.
