I'm a big fan of desserts and snacks and party mixes and trail mix and other concoctions that you don't have to put in the oven to make. Maybe that's an idea for a post, a big list of desserts you can make without baking.
This one features Crispix cereal, which I happen to be looking at right now just over the top of my computer monitor. It's a very easy recipe to make (it's just semi-sweet chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, roasted peanuts, and Crispix cereal), but then again all desserts/snacks like this should be easy to make.

I am not a big fan of creamy things, including cream-based soups and cream-based drinks and desserts. That means that while I like the flavor of Bailey's, I just can't drink very much of it at one time. When I got a bottle of the new Bailey's with a hint of Caramel Irish Cream Liqueur, I loved the flavor (more than Jonathan did) and began to come up with recipes that would show it off. I settled on baking a batch of cookies, though the liqueur would do well in a cake, too.
To play up the caramel flavor, I used brown sugar in the cookies and stirred in a combination of white chocolate and butterscotch chips. The overall flavor from the liqueur was subtle, but noticeable, and the mix of sugar, chips and Bailey's was a winning combination. The cookies are on the softer/chewier side, so the chips actually stand out as adding a slightly firmer texture to the treat.
If Bailey's isn't your thing, or if you can't find the caramel, not to worry. I included some variations after the recipe:
It sits alone and untouched at the end of a long buffet table -- a bowl full of apples and bananas, maybe a seedy orange tossed in as an afterthought. Don't let your fruit salad meet this awful fate, spruce it up instead!
