our first batch never turned solid, they were just blobs of goo, but now we finally got it right!!! & they taste so good!! they're those chocolate no bake cookies, i don't know it anybody knows what i'm talking about but anyways, here's the recipe we used: (in a pan mix) 2 cups (white) sugar 1/4 cup cocoa 1/2 cup milk 1/4 pound butter/margarine (basically a stick) (i don't think we used that much though) heat mixture & cook until it boils, remove from heat & cool one minute (then add) 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 teaspoon salt (optional) (we just sprinkled some in) 1/2 cup peanut butter 3 cups quick-cooking oatmeal (quick oats) drop mixture by teaspoonfuls onto wax paper, let cool until set
