"I felt rather dubious when my wife first told me about these, delighted when she first made them for me, and now she makes me beg when I want some."

  1. Love it! I love no bakes but don't like using all that butter. Not that this is a healthy recipe by any stretch, but it makes me feel better to use less butter. I actually used fat-free half & half (because I had it to use up) and slightly less cocoa powder than called for (because I ran out). These were light and creamy and really hit my craving. Thanks.
     
  2. I made these and brought them to work. They were a big hit! I have to say that they are more the consistency of a candy and not a cookie. Next time I'm going to experiment and add some coconut.
     
  3. These are really tasty! These are recommended for those who prefer more chocolate, less butter and less of a salty flavor. However there are other recipes on this site that I plan on trying next time for no-bake.
     
  4. I love these cookies. I followed the recipe exactly, and they disappeared in no time. I think next time, I will try making them with Splenda.
     
  5. What a great recipe! I was bored one day and decided to try something easy to pass the time and tried this out. There are no children in my household but these cookies were gone in no time! I thought they were a little too sweet though and will reduce the sugar a bit next time, but this is definitely an all-star. Wonderful :)

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I WAS retired oilfield trash since 1999, who has lived in Houston TX for the last 25 years, though I'm originally from California. I'm Texan by choice, not by chance! I am now working in Algeria 6 months a year, so I guess that gives new meaning to the term SEMI-retired. I grew up in restaurants and worked in them for 13 years while getting through high school and college, working as everything from dishwasher to chef, including just about everything in between. At odd intervals I also waited tables and tended bar, which gave me lots of incentive to stay in school and get my engineering degree. During the 33 years since, I have only cooked for pleasure, and it HAS given me a great deal of pleasure. It's been my passion. I love to cook, actually more than I love to eat. I read cookbooks like most people read novels. My wife and I both enjoy cooking, though she isn't quite as adventurous as I am. I keep pushing her in that direction, and she's slowly getting there. We rarely go out to eat, because there are very few restaurants that can serve food as good as we can make at home. When we do go out, it's normally because we are having an emergency junk-food attack. My pet food peeves are (I won't get into other areas): are people who post recipes that they have obviously NEVER fixed; obvious because the recipe can't be made because of bad instructions, or that are obvious because it tastes horrible. I also detest people who don't indicate that a recipe is untried, even when it is a good recipe. Caveat emptor!
