Description

This has been a long time favorite in our family.  I remember Pam and I making these when we were in the apartments in Alexandria.  One of our favorite recipes as children.  I made this for my children and they also love these!  (By Rhonda Rae)

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 3 cup quick rolling oats
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Heat cocoa, sugar, milk and butter over medium heat. Boil these verrrrry slowly (they will turn out better) when they reach the boiling point boil them for no longer than 90-120 seconds.
  2. Stir together oats, peanut butter and vanilla with a big wooden spoon or Kitchen Aid. Pour the hot mix over the oatmeal mix and drop on wax paper.
