Eat: No Bake Chocolate Coconut Cookies

I love me a good Mounds bar. Almond Joy will do in a pinch, but, pluck out those almonds and give me that dark chocolate, is what I say!

These cookies are very reminiscent of the Mounds bar. And they come together really quickly with only a few ingredients.

And there's no better way to enjoy a cookie on a hot day then to not have to turn on the oven to get it. :)

Now, these cookies may never win a beauty pageant (isn't that the way with no bakes?), but they are tasty. Besides, they don't do a lot of sitting around anyway. I ate three just writing this post. I mean...my sister....ate those cookies.... :)

Which do you prefer, Mounds or Almond Joy? Or are you a coconut hater?
