from Dorothy Malkin’s friend from work

Ingredients:

2 cups sugar

1/4 cup cocoa

1/2 stick butter (1/4 cup)

1/2 cup milk

3/4 cup peanut butter

2 cups quick oats

Mix sugar and cocoa tog. In pot. Put over medium heat and add the milk and butter .

Make sure everything gets mixed up well and allow contents to reach a full rolling boil.

Don’t let them boil very long. I’m not kidding. Just let it roll for about 3 seconds, long enough to make sure it is a full boil.

When those big bubbles show up in the middle it is time to take it off the heat. Stir in peanut butter and the oatmeal, and stir until mixture loses it’s shine, maybe for about 30 seconds.

At this time the mixture should start to gel so you can spoon out by tbsp. onto the aluminum foil. Let them sit until they harden.

If you don’t boil long enough, they will not harden. If you boil too long, they are gross and crystallized.

Good to know.
