Chocolate and Cream No Bake Cookies

Crazy, easy recipe! Buttery soft and creamy no-bake chocolate cookies. Chocolate and Cream Cookies are a fun addition to a cookie tray.  If you are talking and laughing as I usually am when faced with a cookie tray – we’re talking choices of cookies and chocolate here!! –  you could do a double take.  Not meat, just a fun soft cookie!!  Would you eat it if it were called Salami Cookie?

You’ll need two fully packets of graham crackers.  There are nine crackers in each packet.  I didn’t open the packets, just started crushing them with my hands.  Once you get them started, the crackers will breakdown fairly quickly.  Don’t worry about crushing them evenly.  You’ll want some larger pieces about ½ inch square, some nice crumbs and everything in between.  Dump them in the mixing bowl, with 8 ounces of cream cheese (unwrapped) on top to soften slightly.

Mix the cocoa and sugar in a large cereal bowl and chunk up a stick of butter on top.  Put in the microwave and heat for 30 seconds on high.  If butter still has large chunks, heat in 10 second increments until melted.  When butter is melted or only has small chunks, stir thoroughly into the sugar and chocolate.  Add to graham cracker crumbs and cream cheese in mixing bowl.

You can stir by hand if cream cheese is soft, but I prefer the mixer.  Just mix long enough to combine all ingredients well,  to avoid breaking up crackers too finely.  Add nuts.  Mix until incorporated   and stop.  We’re looking for a firmer log – not a fluffy one.    Make log according to instructions.  When frozen slice, evenly and arrange on plate. Leftovers will keep in airtight container.   Can make ahead and freeze for up to three months.
