No-bake Cookies

Joe LOVES no-bake cookies. I grew up on no-bakes without peanut butter, but he grew up with peanut butter. I do enjoy peanut butter, so we decided to make them with peanut butter. The first time we made them we didn't put coconut in them. I grew up with coconut, so suggested it to Joe and he was all for trying them with coconut the next time! Last week we did this! I found a recipe that included coconut. It is found at: http://doubledippedlife.blogspot.com/2009/11/no-bake-cookies.html
Suggestion: Add 1 cup of coconut
