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

Instructions

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.
