No Bake Cookies

Not a new concept, but delicious nonetheless.

Time Needed: 40 minutes
Level of difficulty: easy
Materials needed: 1 3/4 c sugar, 1/2 c milk, 1/2 c butter, 4 T cocoa powder, 1/2 c peanut butter, 3 c quick-cooking oats, 1 t vanillaDirections: Put sugar, milk, butter and cocoa in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook for 90 seconds. Remove from the heat and add peanut butter, oats and vanilla. Stir until well combined. Drop by the teaspoonful (or in my case, tablespoonful) onto wax paper and let harden (this is the time consuming part). Then try not to eat them all in one setting.

I found that I like to use chunky peanut butter the best because I like the small peanut chunks, but do whatever works best or use whatever you have in the cupboard. It's delicious either way.
