Chocolate peanut butter no-bake cookies

No bake cookies are a hit in our house, because it frees up the oven for other things...like baking cookies. Because seriously, when this time of year rolls around? I get a little obsessive about the baking.

This is a Food Network recipe:
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 4 tablespoons cocoa
  • 1 stick butter
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 3 cups oatmeal
  • Waxed paper
In a heavy saucepan bring to a boil, the sugar, cocoa, butter and milk. Let boil for 1 minute then add peanut butter, vanilla and oatmeal. On a sheet of waxed paper, drop mixture by the teaspoonfuls, until cooled and hardened.
