2 c. sugar
1/4 lb. (1 stick) butter
1/2 c. cocoa
1/2 c. milk
3 c. quick cooking oatmeal
1 c. coconut or peanut butter

In 2-quart casserole, combine sugar and cocoa. Stir in milk, then add butter, cut into pieces. Cook on high for 3 minutes, uncovered, or until boiling. Stir, then cook 3 minutes on high, stirring every minute. Add oatmeal and coconut (or peanut butter or enough of both to measure 1 cup). Cook on high 1 minute. Drop by spoonfuls onto wax paper to harden.

If it is a warm or humid day, or you're in a hurry, they may need to be refrigerated to harden.
