No Bake Cookies

Oh my goodness, who doesn't love a good no bake cookie. I can't think of anyone. I have many good memories of making them and eating them. I remember making them for 4-H fair, I even got a blue ribbon for them.
This ones where made for my boyfriend's dad's birthday, as a gift. I wasn't sure what to but him for his birthday, but I knew he loves no bake cookies. Now this didn't come from any cookbook, little help from the internet and from my alright memory. I Hope you will enjoy them. I have made them a couple other times this month for my boyfriend because he also enjoys them very much.
