They are "chocolate haystacks"!!!
My mom used to make those ALL the time when I was growing up.
* 2 cups Sugar
* 1/2 cup Milk
* 1/2 cup Butter or margarine
* 1/3 cup Cocoa
* 3 1/2 cups Quick cooking oatmeal
* 1 cup Shredded coconut
* 1/2 cup Chopped walnuts
* 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla
In a large saucepan, combine sugar, milk, butter and cocoa; bring to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in remaining ingredients. Drop from a teaspoon onto waxed paper; work quickly as the mixture hardens quickly.
The walnuts are optional.
Here's one with peanut butter:
2 cup Sugar
1/4 cup Butter
3 cup Quick Cooking Oats
1/2 cup Milk
1/3 cup Cocoa
1 tsp. Vanilla
1/2 cup Peanut Butter
Mix together in large saucepan Sugar, Milk, Butter and Cocoa. Heat on
high until boiling. Hard boil exactly one (1) minute. Remove from heat and in the same saucepan add peanut butter, oats and vanilla.
Spoon immediately onto wax paper and let cool. Eat and enjoy!
