No Bake Cookies with a Twist

love dark chocolate

With Easter Break coming up I wanted  to make something easy and quick. Since it is not raining or cloudy, I decided to make No bake cookies. The trick to no bake cookies is to not make them when it’s rainy. They will not set correctly if the humidity levels are high. I wanted them to be a little different, so I decided to pretzels. This I'm hoping will add some salty flavor to go along with the sweet.

Measure-All® Cup

Ingredients

2 cups of sugar

4 tablespoons cocoa (I use dark)

1 stick of butter

½ cup milk

½ cup of peanut butter (I use crunchy)

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 ½ cups of oatmeal

1 cup of crushed pretzels (if you don’t want to use pretzels use 3 cups of oatmeal instead of 2 1/2 )

just keep string

Measure all ingredients out first because it needs to be ready to go. If you don’t get the ingredients in fast enough it will not set correctly.

In a sauce pan or pot mix sugar, cocoa, butter, and milk together. Let it boil for a minute then take of heat and immediately add peanut butter, vanilla, oatmeal, and pretzels

and stir some more

 

Mix together until all the oatmeal and pretzels are covered.

Take spoon and drop onto wax paper.

Lets cool and harden then enjoy.
