Well I had this delicious post for you all today. I have been craving some of those no bake chocolate oatmeal cookies for the longest time. You know what I'm talking about. So I gather up all the ingredients and my trusty cookbook from my mom. Now this cookbook has been around...for a while. I'm not sure if they have them everywhere but this one is just a bunch of recipes from people all over Alabama. It probably has any recipe you could ever need...if it's unhealthy of course! These are your grandma's recipes. These are your chicken and dumplings, bourbon balls, buttermilk pie and fried green tomatoes recipes. We obviously used it a lot, because it is currently being held together by duct tape (my dad taped it years ago and made a little pocket out of duct tape on the front and back cover for recipe cards. How sweet!)
Anyway, so I've made this recipe a million times and I was mixing and boiling and doing my thing. Well we didn't have oats so I opted to use some extra shredded coconut that we had. Sounds good, right? Well I'm not sure if it was the best idea, perhaps I should have added more coconut than it called for oats? Well, you don't get a yummy recipe post for a reason...
So there's that. Enjoy that chocolate soup mess on my counter. I'm letting them set hoping that maybe it will turn out edible, but don't get your hopes up!
