Update: I finally broke down and made these cookies at 7:30 am while I was getting ready for work. Your secret worked like a charm – I am munching on a no-bake treat right now (and hoping the rest of our staff partakes so I don’t end up eating 10 more!?). =) Thanks for sharing!

they don't do good if it is humid

The secret is to get them to a full boil before you start the one minute clock. Hope you’re No Bakes are delicious. Hope you’re having fun in NY! I loved your post today about all you were doing US Open, MTV awards, etc. You guys are so well connected! ha ha.

I love no bakes… sometimes I drop it onto wax paper for little cookies – and other times when I am in a hurry I just spread it all on a cookie sheet and then go back and cut it later… It took me like 3 tries to get them right, but since then they have always turned out. Our recipes look about the same…

I actually tried to make No Bakes about 2 weeks ago and totally failed! I will have to give your recipe a try.

sounds yummy! I have a huge bag of quick cooking oats that I have been at a loss as to what to do with…. Now, I know! Thanks!

Our friends here in just returned from 5 years teaching China. I am guessing the no oven in the summer rule is due to the lack of constant a/c? They tell us stories about sweating all summer and freezing all winter. They did push-ups to keep warm.

Your blog almost always makes me hungry. =) I think I might have to whip up a batch of no-bakes tonight!

This made me laugh because my first tries at no bake cookies were epic fails! The instructions said to boil for 1 min 30 sec. If I went over or under that time by even a couple seconds they were ruined. They are yummy…but seriously fickle.
