Susan’s Sweet Treats

My friend Susan gave us some no-bake cookies last weekend, which didn’t last long. J was going to meet some friends in Chattanooga to go skateboarding, and I wanted to send some treats with him, so I made another batch of these delicious and quick to make treats. These are the classic no-bake cookies/hobnobs.

Hobnobs–makes 16

1/2 cup of butter

1/2 cup of cocoa powder

2 cups of sugar

1/2 cup of milk

1/2 cup of peanut butter

1 tsp vanilla

3 cups oatmeal

Melt butter in a large saucepan and stir in cocoa, milk and sugar. Bring mixture to a boil. Boil for one minute. Add peanut butter and vanilla and stir until smooth. Add oatmeal and stir until combined. Drop by heaping tablespoons on to waxed paper lined baking sheets. (I used my largest portioning scoop.)

Cool for about 30 minutes, or until set. Enjoy!
