Scott's Gooey Treats by Kathy Jacobs Scott's Treats are messy and sticky to make, but well worth the trouble. Read the story behind this no-bake cookie and try this recipe for yourself.

"Scott's Treats" grew out of a series of short stories I wrote about a place called Floating Island. (Some of these stories I had published on Themestream, but they are no longer in publication.)

In one of the stories, a character (Music Bunny) was creating a rather sticky, messy treat to thank another character (Scott the ExploraBear) for doing her a big favor. Out of the story grew this recipe.
