1/4 lb. Butter or Margarine (one stick)
1/2 cup Milk
2 cups Granulated Sugar
1/3 cup Cocoa Powder
1/2 cup Peanut Butter (Creamy or Chunky Style)
1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
3 1/2 cups Oatmeal
Instructions:
Combine butter or margarine with milk, sugar, and cocoa powder. Either
blend in a large
bowl and melt in the microwave, making sure the mixture boils for at
least 1 minute, or
combine in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, and bring
to a hard boil for
about 1 minute. Remove mixture from heat source and add peanut butter
and vanilla,
blending well while mixture is still warm.
Pour over the top of the oatmeal, and thoroughly blend the ingredients
with a wooden
spoon or clean hands -- but only after checking to make sure the warm,
gooey mixture
mixture has cooled enough to handle comfortably.
Spoon or drop individual portions on wax paper or a non-stick baking
pan and cool. Serve
immediately when cooled and firmed, or store in an air-tight container
for up to 1 week.
