Regular butter does work great in this recipe. I’d recommend leaving them over night (if you can stand to not eat them for that long – it’s hard!) They really do firm up more the long they’re in the fridge. Mine seem to firm up best if they’re on the bottom shelf in the fridge.

Regular butter works, and its better for you anyway. Margarine is 1 molecule away from being plastic and its dyed yellow (the original color is pretty disgusting.)

Hmm.. I've never had a problem with margarine, but I suppose you could try regular butter. I'm wary of recommending something I've never tried, but I can't see why regular butter wouldn't work.

Hum. What could you use instead of oleo? I try to stay away from thinks like that. I really want to try making this since they look crazy delicious.

Oh wow! Talk about a blast from the past. I haven’t had no-bake cookies since I was a little girl. I will definitely have to whip up some of these and watch Annie or The Little Mermaid and pretend I’m not 28.

Grace – it really does feel like a cop-out! Where’s the mystery? Where’s the worrying about whether the cookies will fall flat or rise? It’s so strange using a recipe that has no place for me to mess up!

I first had these when my second-grade teacher made them as a reward for our class after finishing “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” and I still love them! I just so rarely make no-bake cookies because it feels like a cop-out, especially if I’m taking them somewhere.
