Hello lovelies,
Another day, another no-bake recipe and there’s no doubt in my mind that you guys are going to love this one I’m sharing with you today.
Now, I know Maryland Cookies are primarily a UK biscuit brand but they do get exported across the world so I think i can say with chest that we as a entire nation are in agreement that it doesn’t get much better than a Maryland Cookie.
Brands can try and bring out their own version and I certainly won’t take away the fact that some of them are absolutely blooming delicious, however, Maryland Cookies are the OG’s and are the cookies I always go back too.
Therefore, I knew early on in making my list of ‘no-bake’ recipes that I wanted to do a recipe that hero’s the Maryland Cookie. Let’s just say, it didn’t disappoint. If anything, it surpassed my expectations and has now taken top rank in my no-bake recipes so far.
4 ingredients is all it takes to create this heavenly bar! It’s quick to make, it has easy steps to follow and I can guarantee you’ll be falling head over heels in love at first bite.
So, if your a Maryland cookie lover and fancy making a no-bake recipe this weekend, you know the drill. Keep on scrolling below and you’ll find today’s recipe.

- Pour the chocolate butter mixture on top of the biscuit mixture base, using a spoon to spread it out evenly. Give the tin a gentle shake to disburse any air bubbles.
