Winter is almost over, and spring is in the air! And that means zoo season will begin soon! Some of my fondest memories as a kid were at the zoo. It’s great bonding time for a family. But if it’s a little bit too chilly where you are, you can still have all the fun of going to the zoo without even leaving your kitchen. (Don’t worry! There is no actual gorilla poop involved in this recipe.)
Going to the zoo is one of the best ways to get outside and enjoy the fresh, sunny spring weather. This recipe from Six Sisters’ Stuff, (some of our fave bloggers of all time — hi, ladies), is seriously one of the easiest no bake dessert recipes I’ve ever seen.
No bake dessert recipes are a great way to get your kids interested in cooking, especially when the cookies you’re making have a great name like “Gorilla Poop Cookies.” These cookies are seriously so easy to make. And chances are, you probably already have all of the ingredients in your pantry, just waiting to be turned into some delicious, no bake cookies. Plus, even though I’ve definitely made my no bake cookies too dry before, these turn out perfect every time.

This recipe is also full of oats, so you can consider it a healthier-than-average treat. You can make this easy dessert recipe in five simple steps, and take a bag with you as a snack the next time you head out for a sunny day at the zoo. With peanut butter and vanilla, these funny gobs of goodness will give you an afternoon boost. They make the perfect snack for zoo-goers, too!

I have tossed in fruit after it came off the stove. Pieces of apples, pineapples, cherries, whatever I had. This is a great recipe to play with! You can even add nuts and mini marshmallows and make a rocky road out of it. Just check your fridge and let you imagination go wild!
am so going to make these for my grandkids. They will be thrilled just because of the name and they love peanut butter. I think I will start off with this recipe and then later try adding fruits and nuts and maybe even candies.This is going to be so fun. Going to get ingredients. Love It Thanks.
Did not look at your recipe. but I have made this with my 3-year old and 5-year old grandsons. They had a blast with it. The 3-year old was being potty trained and every so often he had an accident. We put a piece of the poop on the floor in the hall and when his father came home he was so grossed out! The kids were hysterical. We had a great laugh that day. Now they want me to show them how to make pee!
I love these cookies! I make them all the time, but with a vegan twist. Instead of adding the milk, sugar, and butter, I use coconut oil and agave nectar. The coconut oil adds a unique flavor to the dessert, and the agave really acts as a healthy sugar substitute if you’re looking for something low in sugar. Either way, I couldn’t recommend these cookies enough.
That’s a great tip for a substitute! Thank you for sharing!
My mom is always looking for a new desert to make for the family and her bowling buddies, so I can’t wait to share this one with her. This reminds me of the No Bake Brownie Bites with the oats, even though there is chocolate, it is still technically “healthier” than others. I remember as a kid helping my mom making them and how much it was. I’m excited to do the same with my baby cousins and have them fall in love with baking just like I did.
Aww what a sweet memory, thank you for sharing!
