Finally! Seriously, I've been trying to make No-Bakes for the last 5 years with no luck. I was able to successfully make them in high school all the time, but not since.... until today! I've tried different methods, recipes, etc. I chose this one because it has a little less sugar than some. (Still a lot of sugar though, and I would reduce it, but I think that's why mine have not set up in the past). I read a bunch of reviews on this recipe, and other no-bake recipes on this site. Decided to boil the mixture for 2 minutes after it came to a rolling boil, and then I boiled it a little more. I cooked it to about 230 degrees (using my meat thermometer, lol) because some reviewers said to cook to the soft-ball stage, but I was afraid to cook it too long, so I stopped at 230. Used natural peanut butter, and a mix of quick and old-fashioned oats, adding about 1/4 cup extra. After about 20 minutes, these cookies had set up perfectly, I can actually pick one up and eat it! Every other time I've tried to make them in the past few years, they stay goopy, soft, and just not right. They set up perfectly today. Thanks for the recipe, and thanks everyone here for their great and helpful reviews!
