Ingredients

    1/2 cup Butter (1 stick)
    2 cups Sugar
    1/2 cup Milk
    4 tablespoons Hot Cocoa Mix [ NOT SUGAR FREE VERSIONS ]
    1 cup Peanut Butter
    3 cups Quick Cooking (not old fashioned) Oats
    2 teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract
    Kraft Marshmallow “Mallow Bits” or smaller mini-marshmellows.

Directions

1. In a medium sauce pan, add butter, sugar, milk and cocoa. Place on MEDIUM heat, whisking occasionally until it comes to a rapid boil.
2. While you wait for the mixture to begin to boil, measure out your peanut butter and oats and have your vanilla jar handy.
3. Bring the mixture in the sauce pan to a rolling boil – once it is at a full boil – boil for 1 minute only!
4. Remove from the heat immediately.
5. Add in the peanut butter – stir...  Add in the oats – stir..  Add in the vanilla – stir..
6. Using a cookie scoop or heaping tablespoon, scoop out 'drop' cookies onto wax paper or parchment lined baking sheet..
7. Let cool for as long as it takes for the cookies to set. They should feel dry to the touch and come off the 'paper' easily.[about 30 minutes]
8. Store in air tight container

Tip** Once the top is fairly set and dry, turn them upside down on to the wax paper. This helps the bottom of the cookie dry out a little bit faster creating a solid, yummy cookie.
