Note: I've found it a good idea to have the secondary ingredients (for after it boils) measured out and ready to add asap because of the tendency for the mixture to cool so fast.
4 Tablespoons cocoa
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup butter/margarine
Put these ingredients in a pan and cook over medium heat stirring them and allowing them to mix together. When it starts to boil, allow to boil fast for 2 minutes.
Remove from heat (I usually put the pan on a potholder) and add (stir in)
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 1/2 cups of oatmeal
After stirring in above ingredients drop by spoonfuls onto waxed paper. Allow to cool the eat and enjoy.
Note: if you aren't quick about it, sometimes the mixture will get really dry and then you just kinda have crumbs….
My conclusion, these were quick and delicious and my husband loves them!
