Chocolate No-Bake Cookies

There are very few sweets that my husband ever asks for....but these cookies are at the top of the list.  This month we will be celebrating our 23rd wedding anniversary and it probably took me 18 years to master them.  I could never make them like his Grandma....not even close.  I know....how can you not make them right!....they are so simple. I hated making them because they would never set up.  They were always to soft or gooey.  Well once I figured out that you HAVE to use butter and not margarine (which no one told me) they soon became a cookie I made all the time.

These are not fancy cookies....but they have a special place in our family.  Ray's grandma passed away last year and he holds many memories of her in his heart....and her chocolate no-bake cookies always makes him smile.
