These have been in my family since the early 1920's when my Gramma Alice made up the recipe. They have been a family favorite forever.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup cocoa
4 cups sugar
1 cup milk
1 cup margarine
1 cup peanut butter
2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 cups quick-cooking oatmeal
Directions:
1. Bring first 7 ingredients to a rolling boil.
2. Cook for 3 minutes.
3. Remove from heat.
4. Add quick cooking Oatmeal.
5. Mix well and drop by teaspoon onto wax paper or parchment paper.
6. Let cool.
7. Note: After I have let them cool, I put them in an AIR TIGHT container.
8. Regarding Chef #219653’s review all I can say is NO KIDDING Back then she used Butter; then when it was said butter wasn’t good for a person she changed it to margarine. She used to have to moisten the oats first (patting out the excess water) and then add them to the boiled ingredients. I believe it took about 40 – 45 minutes to do the recipe back then ( I can’t remember for sure) and I cannot ask her as she died in September 1979.
9. Thank for you review as it made me clarify original recipe.
