When my eldest children were young, my sister-in-law, Char, shared a recipe that she had made with them when they had gone to stay with her in Canada.  This recipe soon became a classic that was made each and every year at Christmas time.  

I shared the recipe with you back in 2013 when my friend, Ms. Sue, who had made these cookies with the kids and me numerous times, won the title "most delicious" at a cookie exchange that I hosted.  She called them No-Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies.

When my Danish grands were here for the Thanksgiving Holiday, I decided to break out the recipe and continue the tradition with them.  They did an amazing job!!

Using common, everyday ingredients and requiring no baking, these little treats are perfect for creating memories with your little elves........
