Most people get a hankering for dessert every now and then. Since our dinner last night was...less than impressive...our stomachs were calling for reinforcements only a couple hours later. So I peeked into the pantry to see what we had, and this is what I saw:
Doesn't that just speak, "No-bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Drops" to you? (No-bake Cookies, Mountain Bars, whatever you call them) I used my mother-in-law's recipe because it's my husband's favorite for this reason: they set up at room temperature and he can eat them sooner! I always make one alteration: an additional cup of oats.
1/2 cup milk
2 T cocoa powder
2 cups sugar
2 T butter
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup peanut butter
3 cups quick-cooking oatmeal
Combine sugar, cocoa, milk and butter in medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to boil, boil 1 minute, then remove from heat. Off heat, add peanut butter, vanilla and salt. Stir until well blended. Mix in oats one cup at a time. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto wax paper. Let cool.
