These are great! Took about 10 minutes from the time I started measuring. I never made no bake cookies before, but I wasn't feeling well yesterday and still wanted some little dessert for after dinner. I liked the drink mix in these so gave um a whirl. Not often I find something everyone here likes, but these were gone in a snap. They just melt in your mouth, almost like fudge covered oats :) Thanks for sharing! I'll make these again.

I gave this recipe 5 stars. I made these for Cameraless Chef 2008. My family loves these no bakes! I'm crazy over the recipe as this is the first o bake cookie recipe I could get to turn out. This is a keeper for sure. I basically followed the directions except I made a little boo boo I add my peanut butter, vanilla and Nesquick right to the pot while still on the stove then I added my oats. My mix didn't seem like it was cooked long enough so I put it back on the stove and stirred for 2 minutes on medium. The mix still didn't look done but I thought oh well they taste good we can eat them with a spoon. At this point I'm remembering my mom telling me to use a candy therm. to get them right. I tasted them and the flavor was so yummy but my oats were still hard. This morning I got up and they had set. The oats were soft and the cookies looked like anyones no bakes. No candy them. for me mom. I'm so happy. Thank you for giving me a recipe that does turn out. Thanks so much for posting a awesome recipe. Christine (internetnut)
