Betty's No-Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookie Squares

Betty demonstrates how to make No-Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookie Squares. This was a special request from her son-in-law, Chris, who preferred these cookies to the traditional birthday cake for his birthday celebration! They are a dark chocolate flavor and contain peanut butter and oatmeal, making them more nutritious than the average cookie.
No-Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookie Squares
½ cup milk
¼ cup butter or margarine, melted
½ cup cocoa
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup smooth or chunky peanut butter
2 ½ cups quick-cooking oats
Place ½ cup milk, ¼ cup melted butter or margarine, ½ cup cocoa, and 2 cups sugar into a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ cup peanut butter, and 2 ½ cups quick-cooking oats. You may finish these cookies up in a couple of ways. 1) Drop by teaspoonfuls onto waxed paper, and let set up for about ½ hour or 2) Pour mixture into a large (13-inch by 9-inch by 2-inch) greased pan and cool, then cut into equally-sized squares. This is a traditional cookie recipe in my part of the country. These cookies are great as snacks for children, and are great as lunchbox items, but big kids like them, too!
