No-Bake Cookies




1 stick butter
1/2 cup milk
2 cups sugar
1/4 cup cocoa
1 pinch salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup peanut butter
3 cups Quick Oats **see UPDATE below**

In a saucepan over medium heat melt butter.  Add milk, sugar and cocoa.  Mix well and bring to a boil.
Remove from heat and add salt, vanilla and peanut butter.  Stir until peanut butter is melted.  Stir in oats.  Drop by spoonfuls onto waxed paper.  Let cool and set.  Eat and enjoy!

I have been using this recipe for close to thirty years.  I remember getting it out of a comic book that we got in elementary school.  No idea where the book is now - but the recipe is in the memory forever - and NOW HERE!


**UPDATE on 9-19-2013:  Husband had a brilliant idea.  He LOVES coconut!  So he asked if I would make these with 1 1/2 cup oats and 1 1/2 cup coconut - so I did!  THEY ARE DELICIOUS.
