No bake cookies

So I brought these to a barbecue on Saturday, and no one there had eaten them before. Are no-bake cookies a Midwest thing? An Ohio thing? It was mind-boggling.


These weren't quite as good as my Mom's-- too sweet and not quite rich enough. I'm waiting on her recipe, and will post it when I field test it.

Still, though-- I thought this was a universal childhood thing, up there with rice krispy treats and chex mix.
