I have tried several versions of this recipe and I believe this is the best! I got the recipe from my mother, and of coarse she cooks better than anyone else's mom. Be sure to cook the full two minutes so they will set up. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups sugar |
1/2 cup cocoa |
1/2 cup evaporated milk |
1/3 cup butter |
1/3 cup creamy peanut butter |
1 1/2 cups quick-cooking oats, uncooked |
1/2 cup pecans, chopped |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. Combine sugar, cocoa, milk, and butter in a heavy saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture reaches a slow boil (mixture will bubble around sides). Cook 2 additional minutes, stirring constantly.
2. Remove from heat; add peanut butter, and stir until smooth. Stir in oats, pecans, and vanilla. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto wax paper; cool. Yield about 4 1/2 dozen.
