We used to make these all the time growing up. I keep hearing them called no-bake cookies, but this is the name my mom always called them. Even if they don't set up and harden like they should, the chocolate goo tastes mighty fine eaten with a spoon! **UPDATE: Added 11-6-06** I just tried making these again, and for the jillionth time they didn't set up right. I'm going to confer with my mother to see what I might be doing wrong. Until then...make at your own risk!
