Fudgy Cocoa No-Bake Treats
This came from the back of Hershey's Cocoa. You can no longer find this recipe on a box of cocoa or on their website. So here it is for everyone to enjoy. This is the BEST recipe I have found for this cookie and I am always asked for the recipe when I make them. It is super easy and they will melt in your mouth as long as you DO NOT over boil. Over boiling will cause them to be dry, which is the main complaint of No-Bakes.

- Personal Tips:
- *I use the Reduce Fat Jiff Peanut Butter and it works great.
- *I add up to 1 1/2 tsp additional of vanilla.
- *I always use butter.
- *Any % of milk will work, I normally use skim or 2%, it doesn’t make a difference.
