These were called 'cow patties' by a friend of mine. yes, we all grew up on a farm. lol

I've made a similar recipe to this since I was a child. We called ours coconut tempters. Instead of cocoa we used only the peanut butter and 1 cup of coconut. We always liked this better than the chocolate ones

I just love these cookies. My mom made them frequently when I was a child. They never lasted very long. I add a dash of salt to the recipe, since that is how mom made them. When I have not had white sugar (or enough white sugar) I have substituted either brown sugar or about 1/2 cup of pancake syrup. They both work if you are in a pinch. Enjoy!

I've been making these cookies for 40 years and my Mom made them before me.When I was in school, we had them in the cafeteria and could buy one about the size of your hand, for a nickle.I live on the outskirts of Chattanooga,and most people call them Hobknobs.Most of the grocery stores and Wal-Mart sell them here also. I never cared much for cookies, but when I start eating these, it's like eating potato chips, you can't eat just one! :)

I make 2 batches, 1 regular, 1 without the cocoa, they make a pretty platter. Also I generally pour them into a bar pan and cut them after cooling, it keeps them consistent in size and I have chewier less crumbly cookie.

I grew up with these cookies I'm 53 and i still make them for my children. I add the peanut butter like it says to but I also add raisins these are great this way try it.

We always called these Preacher Cookies, because when the preacher came over to visit it was a quick and easy recipe to fix. My mom and I always used raisins about 1/2 cup. They are delish!

Growing up we called these cookies "Edna's" birthday cookies because she would bring them to all the birthday parties. Sometimes there would be 20-30 kids at these parties. And usually 2 or 3 Birthday boys/girls at one time. Every one attended every party and we had so much fun swimming in the summer and ski-dooing or skating in the winter. Makes me smile to think of those Happy times.

I substituted the cocoa with chocolate pudding in the box. Turned out great! I had these as a kid and never knew the recipe until now. Surprising the hubby and kids tonight with them:)

I only used 1 cup of sugar and they tasted great! Gave it less of a "grainy" texture and more of a dark chocolate flavor, which we love.

This is a recipe that is always loved in my household, but I too have problems with them sometimes not setting up. The cautions about the damp, rainy weather make sense to me ~ I live in Oregon and I don't often have dry weather! This will just have to become my sunny day recipe.

Replace oatmeal with rice crispies! Delicious rice crispy treats!!!

This recipe is soo good (although, it is fairly hard to mess up no-bakes, or make no-bakes that aren't good for that matter). I found this recipe after I was simply bored this afternoon and got a sweet tooth. So, I needed something that was easy to make, with most of the ingredients readily accessible. This recipe matched my criteria!!!

Hi, my mom used to make these when my brother and I where little, then she taught us how to make them, Ive now shown my kids and grandkids how to make them as well !!! Oh ya, we have always called them poop cookies lol !!!

If you like coconut add 1/2 cup. I use 1/4 cup smooth peanut butter and 1/4 cup crunchy. 1/4 dark cocoa.
