These are great and so easy- no matter what complicated sweets I create, my boyfriend keeps asking for these. Sure wish he would learn to make them himself one of these days :) I never use 2 cups sugar- 1 1/2 at most. Reduced-fat PB works fine in this recipe, but I like these best with crunchy PB.

Way too much cocoa -- maybe half that much.

Great for a dad to make for kids - really tasty. Next time I will use about 2 3/4 cups oatmeal so its not so crumbly.

Have made these for at least 45 years, but I do add a dash of salt, and I double the recipe. Works great.

It's a winner. Used this for our first Christmas baking party with my grandaughters ages 4,2,1. Had a blast

I find that putting a scoopful in a paper muffin cup makes cleanup much easier. Cooling the cookies on a baking sheet in the freezer helps them set faster as well.

out of town for holidays,needed the recipe for family left it at home in N.C.needed it for family out of town....

Thank-you, Mrs. Moose

I ate theses as a young girl growing up, my babysitter made these. I made them for my kids when they grew up. It is the only cookie that my son eats. He is 29 and I am still making them for him this time of year

I grew up with Chocolate peanut butter no bakes. The recipe we have does not use any butter. It is very simple and as long as you boil the mixture for just one minute they turn out awesome every time. No butter means it's at least a little healthier right? :) We use sugar, oats, and vanilla in one bowl and cocoa and milk on the stove. They are awesome!

My Mom had the recipe from the Quaker Oatmeal box, from many years ago. Instead of calling for peanut butter, it called for 1/2 to 1 cup nits. Personally I like the best of both worlds and add chunky peanutbutter. Also, the original recipe called for 1/2 to 1 cup coconut (as an optional addition).

Many people have asked about the cooking time. The instructions are to cook it for 1 minute..but the minute starts when the mixture has come to a full boil. Take it off the heat immediately when the minute is over, or you can over cook it.

Great recipe!

My mother made these for me every Christmas. I am 52 years old and my mother passed away several years ago, but, this recipe
tastes just like the one my mother used. This is a plus for everyone, I made then myself.

I always made these cookies for my Dad they are his favorites! Been making them for 10 years and a good variation is instead of usung cocoa use a small bag of milk chocolate chips. It keeps the cookies from drying out for a long time. And they taste so much better!

AWESOME!!! Exactly how my grandma made them when I was little!

Awesome !! Thank you so much for this recipe! It's wonderful.

My mother-in-law taught me how to make these 30 years ago. I changed it up a bit. I don't use cocoa, I double the peanut butter, used whole oats instead and also add marshmallow cream, about 1 cup.
