[recipe] Chocolate Oatmeal No-Bakes

[Guest guest]

These are awesome for when you have a

wild sweet tooth craving going on.

They are extremely sweet and more like

a candy bar than a cookie, IMO. i like to

make these during the summer b/c the

recipe doesn't require the use of a hot oven.

 

Chocolate Oatmeal No-Bakes

 

2 cups sugar

1/2 cup milk

1/4 cup butter

1/3 cup cocoa powder

3 cups rolled oats

1/2 cup shredded coconut

1/2 cup peanut butter

1 tsp. vanilla extract

 

Combine the sugar, milk, butter and cocoa in a large

cooking pot. Bring to a boil and the keep it at the boil

for one full minute [very important]. Remove from heat.

Mix in the remaining ingredients and stir to combine.

Quickly drop by spoonfuls onto waxed paper.

Allow to cool and stiffen.

Yield: about 30 cookies

I value my garden more for being full of blackbirds than of

cherries, and very frankly give them fruit for their songs.
