to bake or not to bake

Chocolate makes everything better. After a week filled with stress and no sleep the only thing on my mind was having a relaxing weekend..and chocolate.  I didn't want a giant Hershey's bar so I went for no bake cookies. They are delicious and you don't have to use the oven.  I wanted to share my happiness with you: 






Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups white sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter
  • 3 cups quick-cooking oats
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract




Directions

In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, milk, butter, and cocoa. Bring to a boil, and cook for 1 1/2 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in peanut butter, oats, and vanilla. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto wax paper. Let cool until hardened.


These are too easy to bake; my girlfriends and I added banana to a batch, delicious touch. Enjoy!
