Can these be made on a rainy day? Lots of times boiled recipes like fudge don't always set if it's raining outside.

 Elle (Maryland) says:
Everyone l know likes chocolate no-bakes, but sometimes the store-bought ones lack flavor, definitely need more cocoa. . To this recipe, add an ounce or two of unsweetened or semisweet melted chocolate or increase the cocoa powder by 1/4-1/3 cup.

 Marnie Welsh (Minnesota) says:
I have this as an old recipe in my mother's handwriting calling for 1/3 cup cocoa instead of 1/2, cream instead of milk, and 1/2 tsp. salt. There is an additional note suggesting additional options (1/2 cup peanut butter/or coconut/or raisins/or marshmallows). Increase milk by 1-2 tablespoons if lots of additions. "Eat up because they are NOT good the second day."

 Kim A. Pierce (Michigan) says:
I change my recipe according to the ingredients brand. For example I use nothing but Quaker 1 minute oats and Jif peanut butter... IMPORTANTLY 1/4 and 1/8 cup of cocoa, NOT QUITE 1/2 cup... THEN always I add 1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts and the same with raisins.

My great grandmother handed down this recipe. All of my friends call these crack cookies because you can't eat just one! By far the most requested thing I make! Also it's been my fave desert since I was little! Thank you for sharing this recipe!
