This could easily go in my Retro section, as I remember similar recipes from my childhood.  Even my hubby says his mom would let the boys make this kind of dessert  because they weren’t allowed to  use the oven. (probably a wise decision).   So, here it is. Simple.  Easy.  AND Delish!

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER OATMEAL COOKIES (NO-BAKE)

2 cups sugar

3 Tbs. Hershey’s unsweetened cocoa

1/2 cup milk

3 Tbs. butter or margarine

Combine above ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat.  Bring to a rolling boil, stirring occasionally.  Boil for 1 minute.  Remove from heat and add:

1/2 cup peanut butter

2 cups One Minute oatmeal

1 tsp. vanilla

Stir until oatmeal is blended in.  Drop in spoonfuls on wax or parchment paper.  Makes about 30 cookies.

THIS WOULD BE A GREAT RECIPE TO DO WITH GRANDKIDS.  Ask me how I know…..
