Hi, everyone! Happy Spring! Even though the weather may be getting a bit warmer, it can still be pretty wet outside. On those March days when it is either too cold or too wet to play outside, it's good to have something fun to do inside. As you know, one thing we love to do on "inside days" is make treats. You should try making these tasty no-bake cookies at your next get-together or play date. They may look like little lumps of cookie dough that need to be baked, but, trust us, you eat them just as they are...and, boy, are they YUMMY! Even though you won't be baking these cookies, you will be using the stove, so it's best to have an adult to help you. A helpful tip: pay close attention when the mixture starts to boil. If you boil too long, the cookies will be dry and crumbly. But, if you don't boil long enough, the cookies won't form properly. One fun thing about this recipe is that you can add your favorite ingredients to it — like coconut flakes or crushed pretzels — to make them even better! Our thanks to allrecipes.com for this easy and fun treat!
