I would like to find a recipe that uses 1 can of icing and one other item to make no bake cookies.?

Question

Traditionally, my gemma used vanilla/chocolate icing (whole container) with another item, I can't remember if it was peanut butter, marshmellow cream, or something else. I know that she melted both of the products so that it would mix more throughly. I believe she then let the product set. Any ideas would be appreciated. Non of my family knows this recipe that she used.

Answer 1

This recipe will work fine with any generic frosting mix. I changed the recipe to use a graham cracker crust so there's no baking needed. For the original version using a sugar cookie crust, see Rocky Road Bars.
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup butter
15 oz. pkg.DRY milk chocolate frosting mix
1 cup miniature marshmallows
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
PREPARATION:
Combine graham cracker crumbs and 1/4 cup melted butter in a small bowl. Press into bottom of a 9" square pan. Set aside while preparing filling.
In heavy saucepan, combine 1/4 cup butter and water and heat to boiling.

Add the dry frosting mix (Jiffy brand is best - be sure the boxes add up to about 15 ounces) and blend well. Remove from heat and let cool slightly, about 4 minutes. Stir in marshmallows, pecans, and chocolate chips and spoon onto graham cracker crust. Cool completely and cut into pieces to serve. If you can't find the dry frosting mix, you can make this with the canned, or tub frosting. Omit the water, 1/4 cup butter, and the dry frosting mix. Melt a 12 ounce package of chocolate chips in a small saucepan. Remove from heat and add a 16 ounce tub of prepared milk chocolate frosting and beat until smooth. Fold in marshmallows, pecans, and chococolate chips and spread over graham cracker crust; let cool completely and cut into pieces. 25 bars
