Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 2 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 0.5 cup Peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 3 cups Quick oats (rolled oats can be used for a chewier texture)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, and milk.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir consistently until the butter melts and the mixture is smooth.

Step 3

Bring the mixture to a rolling boil and let it boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until the peanut butter is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.

Step 5

Add the quick oats to the saucepan and stir until they are evenly coated in the chocolate mixture.

Step 6

Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or wax paper.

Step 7

Let the drops cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until they are firm and set. You can also refrigerate them for quicker setting.

Step 8

Once set, transfer the oatmeal drops to an airtight container for storage. They can be enjoyed immediately or stored at room temperature for up to 5 days.
