No Bake Cookies

4 c. sugar
1 c. milk
1 c. cocoa
1/4 tsp. salt
1 c. peanut butter
1 c. margarine
3 c. oatmeal

Preparation:

Mix margarine, sugar, milk, cocoa, and salt, and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and add remaining ingredients. Stir thoroughly and drop by spoonfuls onto waxed paper or foil. You have to work quickly with this since it will harden quite fast.

This was something that my mom used to make back in the 60's. We didn't have a lot of money, so these were a treat. Sometimes, when the batch didn't harden, mom would roll them in powdered sugar. It was a rich, sticky, chocolatey treat.

About Me

My photo
Hi Folks! My name is Candy and I have been married to my best friend, my one true love, Steve, for 11 years now. We are a combined family with 7 grown kids and 14 grandbabies. Our children are all over the US; Illinois, Louisiana, Utah, Oregon, Alaska and Hawaii. We are proudly owned and operated by an ever growing menagerie of animals: parrots, parakeets, cockatiels and cockatoos, dogs, cats, chickens, and 2 rabbits. We have a huge garden in the summer, planted fruit trees and grape vines last year, can food from the garden, sew, quilt and make our own soap. Needless to say, we live in the country, have an avid interest in homesteading and how to make it do-able on a small acreage plot of ground. We've had alot of successes, a couple of near misses and a couple of "really missed the target" in our venture and look forward to sharing them like-minded folks.
