Funky Frito Fruckies
Anytime I can find a mixture of salt and chocolate, I jump on it. These cookies/candies are rich but wonderful. If you are not a big fan of chocolate, or want these a little less sweet, leave the chocolate off.

Grandma's Classic No-Bake Cookies
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.
