Peanut Butter FREE No bake cookies

So this is the no-bake cookie recipe I grew up with. It's my favorite, people usually put in the PB with out coconut and I started to search for this recipe online and never found it!  I have never seen this PB free recipe anywhere and luckily my mom still had this one.

Zuchini Fruit Snacks

Zucchini Fruit Snacks

Ingredients

10-12 cups peeled, seeded zucchini cut into 1/2 inch to 1 inch pieces (this recipe is perfect for the HUGE zucchini that you find hiding under one of the leaves) :)

3 cups water

2 packages unsweetened Kool-Aid, any flavor (I’ve found grape and strawberry work best)

2-1/2 cups sugar

Directions

• Peel zucchini very well. Make sure that you get all the green off. Cut into large pieces and scrape out the seeds, Then cut zucchini into smaller ½ - 1 inch pieces. Mix water, Kool-Aid and sugar in a large pan and bring to a boil. Add zucchini and bring to a full boil. Simmer 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Do not over cook.
• Drain well (you can save the juice for another batch if you desire).Put pieces on dehydrator trays, being careful that they don’t touch. Dry 14-18 hours at 125 degrees.(My dehydrator doesn’t have a temperature setting- it’s old-- so I end up drying it for close to 20 hours). I’ve also successfully done this in the oven with it set at 170 and it takes about 10 hours.
• Roll pieces in sugar after about 14 hrs in the dehydrator (while pieces are still kind of sticky). Return to dehydrator until dry.  
• If you are using leftover juice to make another batch, add an additional package of Kool-Aid and 1/2 cup sugar. Store in airtight container.

This may look good to you and it may not. It's a BLT salad sandwich and actually really yummy! You take all the ingredients for a BLT and chop it up this one has orange and red tomatoes, Spinach, bacon, and ovocados all misxed up and you put it on your sandwich bread its great. Also If you like Ovacado it makes a GREAT substitue for mayo anytime. It's flavorful and creamy.
