Recipe for Haystacks

I thought I would take the time to share some of my favorite recipes with you. The following recipe is an old one that I got from a friend many years ago. It is a favorite with my family when chocolate is what they want. I hope you enjoy it too.


Haystacks

Ingredients:
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup butter/marg.
1/2 cup milk
1/3 cup cocoa
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/3 cup crunchy peanut butter
3 cups Quaker Oats

Directions:

Mix the first five ingredients in a boiler. Bring to a rolling boil over medium heat stirring constantly. Boil the mixture for two minutes (still stirring) and then remove from heat. Add the peanut butter and oatmeal. Stir to mix and drop by spoonfulls on parchment paper. Allow to cool and enjoy.

Options: You can decrease the oats by half a cup and substitute half a cup or a little more of shredded or flaked coconut.
