~ No Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies ~
1 stick of butter or margarine 1/2 cup of milk 1 1/2 cups of sugar 1/3 cup of cocoa powder 1/2 cup of peanut butter 3 1/2 cups of oatmeal 1 tsp vanilla extract
Put the butter, milk, sugar, and cocoa powder in a microwavable dish and heat in the microwave until it's melted. Give a good stir. Put back in the microwave and set it to run for about 2 - 3 minutes. All microwaves are different, but what you want is for the mixture to boil for at least one minute. So, keep a close eye on it and once it's boiled for the one minute, turn it off.
Add the peanut butter and vanilla to the melted mixture and blend. Put the oatmeal in a large bowl and pour the melted mixture over the oats. Stir until completely mixed.
Drop by tablespoons onto cookie sheets (made approx. 16 cookies for me). Place in freezer for one hour.
After the hour is up, put them in a plastic container with a lid and kept them in the refrigerator.

I've done these many times, got to love how quick and easy they are!!! The only difference is I've never microwaved, I do the melting over the stove. They are tasty!!!
