Very simple recipe and very quick to throw together. The secret is to cook just the right amount of time, about 3 1/2 min to 4. Not enough time they fall apart, too much time they crumble. Also after adding the ingredients after the syrup is cooked, one has to work fast to mix and then spoon into clusters. Great recipe and very quick to make. I like it.

Great recipe. Keep in mind this is candy making. After a year making these and sometimes getting it right and sometimes not, I finally figured it out. This should not take more than 1 or 2 minutes boiling. But what I call boiling and what you call boiling and be quite different. But the cooking time totaly effects the results everyone is talking about, too soft, grainy. To start with your better to cook too long at least then you have something usable, too hard, but edible. Then you can decrease the time until you find what works for you. Consistency is also affected by altitude and the weather. These rarely work on a rainy day.

Three of my favorite things: Chocolate, coconut and EASY! Yummy and simple. I used soy milk and soy margarine because I have a dairy allergy. Perfect!

The ingredients seems perfect, but the quantities must be off. They really don't set. I left them in the freezer overnight and they still are sticky and you have to peel them off the wax paper. Also, I took the advice of cutting down the sugar to 1 1/3c. and they seem to be the perfect amount of "sweetness" so the recipe as submitted is off on the sugar amount too. I'll either look around for another recipe or mess with this one until it's right.

I made A LOT of no bake cookies while I was in the Peace Corps as they were the only kind I was able to make and these turned out the best of any recipe. I think it is the coconut that makes them have a better texture and better flavor than the other recipes (something besides just sweet). Mine never set up hard, but I don't know if that is the recipe or the fact that it was always 110 degrees.

These were very dry and didn't stick together very well. They needed something. Maybe chocolate chips added to the sugar mixture.

Great recipe! I was looking for a version of this cookie but without the peanut butter (daugher has peanut allergies) and I am so glad to have this one! We gobble these up, without any alterations to the recipe. I do have to ensure the kitchen is warm, so the cookies set up.

Loved, loved, loved this recipe! My wee one especially loved it! I only boiled for 2 minutes. I didn't have coconut on hand so I added an extra 1/2 cup of oatmeal instead. Instead of cooling in the kitchen, I put them in the freezer for about 45 minutes and they set with no crumbling. I will definitely use this recipe again!

Use Quick or 1 Minute Oats. This is a Southern Favorite with Peanut Butter instead of Coconut. It can also be made without either peanut butter or coconut.

I am so confused about this recipe! The bad reviews all sound like people were cooking the oat mixure, which is NOT called for. Just boil the sugar mixture then remove from heat and add the dry stuff (think rice krispy treats). So I thought mine would turn out good since these people must have just done it wrong. Well, the oats seem like they NEED to be cooked. The flavor has so much potential but you are chewing on raw oats. I don't get it. If I do this again I will try combining advice and I will boil the mixure for 3 minutes then add the oat mix and cook for another 2 minutes. Maybe it would turn out right? Oh, I took advice and reduced sugar to about 1 1/3c. Like I said the flavor makes me think the cookies would be GREAT if the consistency was right.

Five stars for simplicty - and Four stars for recipe with alterations! I nearly cut the amount of sugar in half - using only 1 1/3 cup sugar! The cookies were sweet (not too sweet though) - so I believe you can easily use a generous 1 cup sugar without compromising the flavor. I followed the remainder of the recipe as stated. These were VERY simple cookies to make on a whim! I strongly suggest refrigerating the cookies to help them firm/set up properly. My husband loved them and was surprised to see how easy they are to make! NOTE: If you use old-fashioned oats you will need to cook them for at least 4-5 minutes... if you use quick oats then only 1 1/2 minutes. Can also be made with 1/2 cup peanut butter instead of coconut if desired.

Don't boil longer than two minutes, use Quick Oatmeal and I add pecans. Oatmeal can be cut down to 1 3/4 cup. These are sweet but this is my childhood favorite.
