No-Bake Cookies

This is the only picture I got of the no-bake cookies that we made/served at Carolyn's Baby Shower, so it'll have to work. 

I used to make these quite a bit, and they always set up. Right after marrying Cameron, he told me that his family is cursed and that their no-bake cookies never set up right. Since then, every time I make these cookies they don't set up! I was telling that to Em and Chip as I was making these, and Chip walked over, bonked me on the forehead and said "You are healed". Guess what...the cookies set up! The cookie demon who keeps cookies from turning out right left me. ;) They were yummy!
