3 cups Quick Oatmeal
1 cup Walnuts, chopped
1/2 tsp. Almond Extract
1/2 tsp. Vanilla Extract
1 cup Applesauce
1 1/2 cups Granulated Sugar
1/2 cup Butter or Margarine
1/4 cup Cocoa Powder
1/4 tsp. Salt
Instructions:
In a large bowl, combine oatmeal, walnuts, and extracts. Set aside for
use later.
Heat applesauce in a saucepan over medium heat for about 5 minutes
until thoroughly
warmed. Add sugar, butter, cocoa, and salt. Bring the mixture to a
boil, stirring
constantly for about 1 minute. Remove the mixture from heat source and
immediately
add it to the reserved mixture of dry ingredients. Thoroughly combine
all ingredients
with a wooden spoon.
Drop by the teaspoonful onto waxed paper. When cooled and a bit firm,
roll in
confectioner's sugar, if desired. Store in an air-tight container or
refrigerate.
Or pass around the dorm room and don't worry about leftovers ––
students rarely
possess them.
