Chocolate & Peanut Butter No Bakes

Ingredients:

• 1/2 c butter
• 4 Tbsp cocoa
• 2 c sugar
• 1/2 c milk
• 1 tsp vanilla
• Heaping spoonful peanut butter
• 3 c regular oats

Directions:

Measure out the oats in a separate bowl.

Melt the butter in a saucepan, pour in the cocoa and combine.

Pour in the sugar and milk. Let boil for 2-3 min then take off the heat and add vanilla and peanut butter.

Pour over the oats and mix together.

Spoon cookies out onto foil and let set.

Makes 15-17 medium size cookies.

NOTES

Be sure to use Quick Oats. I tried using rolled oats but didn’t like the results. They were crumbly and dry.

I use creamy Jiff Peanut Butter for the best results.

Work quickly once you add the oatmeal to the chocolate mixture. The cookies will thicken once the mixture starts to cool.
