My mom made them on rare occasion when we were kids, but she always cooked them on the stove since we didn’t own a microwave. So when we got our own microwave, I messed around with the recipe until they came out just right. Some people like to add peanut butter, but my sweetie doesn’t like that extra dose of protein. Hope you like them!

I'm glad you changed the name of these. Calling them "cookies" is a gross miscarriage of justice. They are more akin to chocolately rice krispy squares.

No bakes are my favorite! I made them last night, even! I like the peanut butter but pass on the coconut.
I also love the Special K bars smashed down with the sugary stuff and melted chocolate and butterscotch chips on top?
Both whole grains and healthy breakfast options!
These sound yummy. Thanks!
Sounds delicious...can I use butter...we do not "do" margarine in our house.
Have a great weekend.
Yeah, I don"t even use margarine even though I"m supposed to, maybe that's why mine or so good ;)
These are my absolute favorite cookies ever. My mama used to make them for me once in a while and even though I have watched her do it and know she's given me the right recipe, mine just never taste quite as good as hers. Her tuna salad always tastes better than mine too. =]
My husband is obsessed with these! I'm totally gonna make them for them and get Wife of the Year award. :) Thanks for the recipe!
