  1. So if you make all three recipes more or less simultaneously, it might be better to not start the no-bake cookies first and finish them last. They might set up a little too much in the pan to form cohesive enough cookies. They'd probably still be yummy, though.

  2. Ah . . . and now we come to the reason for the strange plan to make all the recipes on the blog up to here in two weeks that I hadn't yet. Too bad I didn't get around to sharing many of these. My stomach was getting so pudgy I had another reason to wish I was pregnant.
