This is the Knight Family's infamous gorilla poop recipe!
2 cups sugar
1/3 cup baking cocoa
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup butter or regular margarine
2-1/2 cups quick-cooking oats
1/2 cup peanut butter
2 tsp vanilla
Combine sugar, cocoa, milk, and butter in a 3-qt saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture comes to a boil, about 10 minutes. Cook 2 more minutes. Remove from heat.
Stir in oats, peanut butter, and vanilla. Stir just until blended. Drop mixture by teaspoonfuls on waxed paper-lined baking sheets.
**I think the key to this is using the quick oats vs like traditional oatmeal.**
