There are so many wonderful treats I can remember as a child that have somehow got lost in the shuffle of being an adult. For some reason, these simple, great recipes have been replaced by complex, time-consuming ones. Below is one such recipe.

This no-bake cookie will be an easy one for the kids to make this summer – with supervision. Please email me at brencook4u@aol.com if you know of other recipes like this.
