No Bake Mud Cookies

Its a rainy day here this Labor Day and I was in the mood to cook something sweet and chocolaty. But I didn't have the ingredients on hand for some of the recipes I thought of and I really didn't want to go to too much work....☺

Then I remembered these no bake cookies. They have lots of names including Tennessee Mud Cookies, No Bake Mud Cookies, and No Bake Oatmeal Cookies. There are only a few basic ingredients and they are very quick and easy to make. Plus, my husband LOVES them. ♥♥

If you have never made these you are in for a treat. Easy to make, easy to clean up, and a sure hit with everyone.

I don't remember how I got this reciepe or how long I have had it but here goes...
