I was having an epic chocolate craving after church today, so I decided to make some "no-bake" cookies. I whipped out my trusty Terrenton ID Ward cookbook (graduation present from my sister Kristy), and turned to page 272, only to realize I lacked the required ingredient. In my desperation I just started grabbing things from the pantry and the unholy concoction that emerged may be the best no-bake recipe I've ever had. Wow.
Mix:
1 c. sugar, 1/3 c butter, 1/2 c. evaporated milk, 1/2 tsp. vanilla, and 1/4 cup cocoa in a pot. Melt and mix together. Let boil for 1-2 minutes.
Remove from heat and add 1-1/4 cup mini marshmallows and 3 tbsp. peanut butter. Mix well, allowing the marshmallows to melt.
Add 1-1/4 cup oatmeal and 1 more cup of mini marshmallows. Mix until equally blended and drop by spoonfuls on waxed paper or a greased cookie sheet. Allow to cool.
Move over, Curtis's "Dinosaur Food" recipe and Mom's "Chocolate Oatmeal Stuff"- we've got a new most addictive substance ever!
