Ingredients
- 1 1/2 C Rolled Oats
- 1/4 C Cocoa Powder
- 1/4 C Sugar
- 1/4 C Butter
- 1/4 C Milk
- Vanilla Extract
- Optional:
- 1/4+ C Chopped Nuts of Choice*
- 2+ TBS Raisins or Dried Berries
*This recipe is great with basically any kind of nut so choose your favourite. If you're adding berries it's best if they are dried, otherwise the treats may not hold together as well.
Directions
- Mix sugar, butter, milk and cocoa in a pan. Bring to a boil over med heat, stirring frequently. Lower heat to minimum and let cook 2-3 min.
- Remove from heat and stir in oats, 2-3 drops of vanilla and (if using) nuts and berries or raisins.
- Drop by spoonfuls onto a piece of waxed paper or greased pan/plate to form walnut-sized balls and leave to cool--keep in fridge if it's a warm day.
