gram's no-bake fudge "cookies"
This recipe goes way back to my childhood. My mother used to make these delicious no-bake "cookies" quite often. They're so easy to make and so delicious! They taste so much like the fudge my mother used to make....you know....the kind you have to beat forever to get the fudge to cool and lose it's gloss before spreading it in the pan? But these require only a fraction of the time. You can make them "your own" by adding your favorite ingredients, like raisins, toasted nuts, coconut, M&M's ..... I'd like to try malted milk powder next time I make them!
