Here's an easy recipe for sweet munchies to have after your Thanksgiving dinner while watching the game, or any other time you like. I make them occasionally when my sweet tooth needs a little exercise.
Oatmeal Balls
2/3 cup milk
pinch of salt
1-1/4 cups sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp butter
1/3 cup peanut butter*
1/3 cup chopped nuts*
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 cups Quick Oats (not regular)
Bring milk to simmer in saucepan. Add salt, sugar, cocoa powder and butter. Cook 1-2 minutes, stirring. Turn off heat.
Add remaining ingredients and stir well (this should be quite dry but if too stiff, add a little milk). Cool slightly.
By rounded tablespoons, with damp hands, roll into balls. Put on wax paper and let dry several hours or overnight until no longer sticky. Store in a sealed container.
* If allergic to nuts, use Tahini (sesame paste) instead of peanut butter and omit the nuts.
Quick, easy, one pan, and delicious.
