Chocolate Oatmeal No-Bake Cookies

 Jim (Maryland) says:
Just made them. It's been 20 minutes but they haven't firmed up yet. They taste great though. Why don't any of these cookie recipes tell how many they'll make? Mine are all different sizes approximately cookie size and I got 31. Didn't have wax paper so I used aluminum foil sprayed with cooking spray.

I'm 32 years old and started cooking in the kitchen at age 9 while my mom worked. I would always be in there helping her cook things from scratch. this was one of them. this is the same recipe I used at 10 years old.. and it was the same that my mom used when she was little. good to see something from so long ago.. brings back memories.. as I always added extra milk and sugar and and it was a "milk chocolate" then a dark chocolate.. we never used wax paper so I used pie pans with a thin layer of butter spread on the pans then placed them in the freezer.. few.hours later pull them out then cut and it's the best candy bar "no bake bar" you have ever ate.

My mother in law, Grandma Padgett, taught me when I was 16. I taught my daughter Kelly Padgett. Who taught both her girls Kelsey & Kylie Padgett. This is the best recipe ever...

 Dar (Georgia) says:
I've used this recipe many times but I also cut the sugar & like to use the old fashioned oats instead of the quick. More chew to them. Delicious!

Very good!

 Betty (California) says:
This is the best recipe. I have made it for over 35 years. However, we call it Fudge Chews. If you boil the sugar, cocoa, butter, & milk mixture for 3-4 minutes instead of 1 min, stir frequently, before adding the PB & Oatmeal, the mixture will harden like fudge. I place in cup cake holders in muffin tins and put in refrigerator until hardened. totally different texture. So good.

My grandmother use to make these exactly the same way for us when we were children. Now at 62 I made a batch this weekend for my wife and me and they were scrumptious; just like "granny's".

I remember these from Girl Scouts! You all make me want to try them again! I have left one career and am considering another. I always loved baking but I loved the tasting part more which is NOT good for ME, but you guys are making me remember good old times with my troop mates!

 Tammy (Canada) says:
My all time favorite cookie. I sometimes omit the peanut butter and add 1 cup of mini marshmallows, it gives it a more chewy texture.

 Grams (Louisiana) says:
Excellent cookie. Grandson doesn't like the oatmeal. Can I use cusp rice cereal instead?

Grandmother used to make these when I was a kid. I tweaked my recipe and used crunchy peanut butter. Johnny, Walhalla.
