Chocolate Oatmeal No Bake Cookies

When it's too hot to bake, we no-bake

Chocolate Oatmeal No-Bake Cookies that is. I haven't made these in ages and forgot how good they are. Here's the recipe so you can make them, too!

Chocolate Oatmeal No Bake Cookies
1/2 C Butter
2 C Sugar
1/2 C Milk
4 Tbsp Cocoa
1/2 C Peanut Butter
3- 3 1/2 C Quick cooking Oats
2 tsp. Vanilla

Add the first 4 ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a rolling boil, and boil for 1 minute. Stir in the next 3 ingredients and drop onto wax/foil paper. Let cool until set.

We took a Sunday drive (a habit, it would seem as of late) to the Angeles National Forest and needed a quick treat  and these were perfect. Except it did make me a little woosey (ALOT woosey). All those switchbacks, the sugar, the headache, the children...oy. I can barely talk about it, let alone type it. Cookie disclaimer: Avoid operating heavy machinery, high altitudes and swimming when consuming.
