AUNT SALLY'S COCOA DROPS
My mother used to make these cookies, they are my all time favorite. She usually frosted them with a white icing. I made them for my children but they usually didn't last long enough to get frosted. Now I make them for my 14 month old granddaughter. They are so soft and so good! I usually double the recipe.

Peanut butter and chocolate are a perfect combination. My cookie recipe can be changed to suit your sweet tooth. Try adding almond or mint extract. These cookies make a fun garnish for ice cream, too.-Beth Brown, Naples, Florida

RICH, FUDGY COCOA BROWNIES
These are decadent!! They disappear quickly whenever I serve them. Want to make them even better? Top them with a good buttercream icing. WOW! (I use half of a batch of Recipe #261024.) Make sure you try the Extra Rich Variation too. If you want to make brownie bites, prepare the recipe without nuts and place 1 Tbls. of batter in 48 mini muffin tins. Bake for about 10 minutes. The centers will still be a bit soft but it preserves the fudginess of them. If you bake them longer, they will be a drier, more cake-like brownie bite.

FUDGY COCOA NO-BAKE TREATS
This came from the back of Hershey's Cocoa. You can no longer find this recipe on a box of cocoa or on their website. So here it is for everyone to enjoy. This is the BEST recipe I have found for this cookie and I am always asked for the recipe when I make them. It is super easy and they will melt in your mouth as long as you DO NOT over boil. Over boiling will cause them to be dry, which is the main complaint of No-Bakes.
