I can tell you one thing, I was not not NOT going to use the oven. Or the stove. I was even apprehensive about using the air popper to make popcorn. So, we ate muddy buddies. Hooray!..

Chocolate Chip Cookie Bark

I like the idea of this cookie bark. Since there's no eggs and no leavening agent, they are flat and crispy, making them easy to transport to whatever crazy activity might come up...
