Melt almond bark in 200-degree oven. Stir in peanut butter until smooth.

Add remainder of ingredients and mix well. Drop by spoonfuls on wax paper.

This recipe was passed on to Heart & Soul Cookbook chairperson Patti Joelson by her best friend's mother, Elaine Anderson. Patti said she's been making the cookies for 15 years now, and they're always a hit, so she added them to her youth group's cookbook.
