Bring sugar, milk, cocoa,and butter in pan, bring to a boil, boil 2 -3 minutes. remove from heat, add peanut butter, stir to melt, add vanilla and oats, stir. Quickly drop by spoonful onto waxed paper. Don't overcook, it will get to crumbly, I turn heat down when it gets to bubbling good.Store covered.
These are great. My mom used to make them for us when we were kids and it was a real treat. Mom would try to freeze them so they'd last longer but it didn't help much. lol
You can also add coconut if you like.
