Gorilla Poops (No-Bake Cookie)

 



My favorite voicemail of all time was as follows from Bret Annalese when she was in kindergarten or 1st grade:


"Mom - May I have the last Gorilla Poop in Big Bird?"


At our house this actually made sense at the time!


We had a Big Bird cookie jar in our kitchen and there were indeed Gorilla Poops (No-Bake Cookies) in the cookie jar...   :0)
