Quick, Easy, Filling cookie for Snack

Chocolate No Bake Cookies are a favorite of mine, but not one I indulge in very often!  I always forget about these little gems, until I get a massive craving for them.  The things that I like about these cookies are that:

1)     They taste great

2)  They are filling

3)  The following recipes is for 30 servings for a 1 - 5 year old!

 

This recipe is from Cooks.com.

2 cups sugar

1/2 cup cocoa

1 stick butter

1/2 cup milk

1 tsp. vanilla

3 cups quick cooking oats

1/2 cup peanut butter

Combine sugar, cocoa, butter, and milk in a saucepan.  On medium heat, bring to a boil for one full minute.

Remove from heat.   Stir in peanut butter (optional), vanilla, and oatmeal.

Drop by spoonfuls onto wax paper.  Let cool for at least 30 minutes.

I used one of these instead of wax paper: 

It is a silicone mat from Fox Run that I found at Amazon.com.  They are amazing and I use them for everything sticky or gooey!
