    No-Bake Peanut Butter Square Cheesecake

    By Kevin Williams

    Comfort food is the name of the game these days and, really, what is more comforting than Oreos?  My grandma always put Oreos in the freezer and, man, I like them like that.  So good.  My wife thinks I'm crazy, says they dry out the cookie, etc, etc,   I don't buy it.  I like my cookies cold.  And if you can find a way to bring cheesecake into the equation then life gets even better.  Reader Penny in Ontario sent me this recipe and I just have to share.  And, you know, while it does use microwaves and food processors, this recipe is not completely out of the Amish food tradition.  The Amish are wonderful about whipping up fluffs, delights, and puddings using processed foods and pre-packaged cookies.

    Wow, a delicious, light, peanut buttery dessert...this would be an amazing thing to enjoy right now!

    And here's a view from the top

    Don't forget the rainbow-colored marshmallows!
