I am also a dark chocolate fan and that sounds very good,I have a no bake peanutbutter cookie recipe already, but with no oats and it is very good even though they can get crumbly.So I would like to know does the pet brand taste better than carnation evaporated milk?

I switched the 1/2 cup peanut butter for a cup of mini marshmallows and just added them a minute or two before the oats. Then I sprinkled with powdered sugar -yum!

This is a great recipe, so easy! I add chopped semi sweet (baking chocolate bar) to the mixture at the very end to keep the chocolate from completely melting. Any brand of evaporated milk is a must! I'm going to try the toasted coconut addition... sounds delicious!

I have tried these without the cocoa and they are great. Same recipe but leave out the cocoa. Great no-bake peanutbutter oatmeal cookies.

I have tried this recipe and it works, however I use brown sugar and leave the cocoa out and this makes a great cookie. The peanut butter with the brown sugar makes them taste like fudge.

If you have nut allergies -- sun butter or soy bean butter can be used in place of peanut butter. Works perfect.

My kids beg for these so they are a birthday and holiday staple. I use quick oats and 2% milk and if you don't like them hard take them off the heat as soon as you see the mixture start to boil. Enjoy

This recipe is delicious... I added chocolate chips after adding "quick oats". Next time will try mini marshmallows.

Hav't heard it called Pet millk since my childhood in Scotland. We are going to make this recipe for a cookie exchange . Thanks

My mother had a recipe similar to this that I have lost over the years. After finding this recipe and others similar variations of it on the web, my daughter and I tried it tonight. We chose 2 recipes that varied just a little and BOTH of them came out horribly. One never set, the other was drying in the pan as we hurriedly tried to scoop out spoonfuls to drop. I also remember that when I was young and we moved from Michigan to Florida, my mother had problems making the recipe set up. Can anyone tell me if this is due to Florida's humidity/low elevation and if yes, how I can overcome this issue?

I'm wondering if it might be more accurate to cook this to a specific temperature. Anybody have any idea what that might be? Mine turn out some of the time and not at others. I've been making them since I was a young girl in the 60's and have not figured out exactly what makes them harden properly. Thanks.

Wow so many variations. I think I might go into a sugar comatose just reading this

anyone tried using a sugar substitute?

I boil the mixture to the "soft ball stage".. This is when you can take a small amount and drop it into a bowl of cold water, pick it up and roll it in a ball.. If this can be done they will turn out perfect every time.

This recipe was really cool oh and Pet milk Pet is the name brand of the milk. Thanks Yall
