I have seen many many different recipes for Chocolate No Bake Cookies on the internet and I have tried a few of them to experiment. After lots of trial and error (lots of errors) I always resort back to the original recipe I was given about 25 years ago. No frills and no magic tricks to make them better. It just works!

Here is how we have made our Chocolate no Bake Cookies for the last 25+ years …
