This recipe for no-bake cookies is the first cookie I ever learned to make as a child. They're very delicious with peanut butter and oatmeal. You can eat them fresh out of the bowl with a spoon, which is delicious with a glass of milk besides. This recipe was my grandmother's, and my mother taught it to her children, and I will to mine. I hope you have as much fun making this either by yourself or with your children, as I did with my mom.

This is a great peanut butter fudge, that a friend of mine gave me a couple of years ago. It is VERY rich, hence the 8 dozen tiny squares. DEE-LICIOUS! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do, and that's saying a lot because I am a chocolate FIEND--but this has NO chocolate in it!
