No Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies

Prepare in large mixing bowl three and one-half cups of quick cook oats.

(Add one half cup nuts, if desired) and a pinch of salt.

Mix in a saucepan, one and a half cups of sugar, one stick of soft margarine, one-third cup of cocoa and one-half cup of milk. Mix well and bring to a boil, stirring to melt sugar nicely.

When this boils up, turn up heat; add two-thirds cup of peanut butter and two teaspoons of vanilla.

Stir until peanut butter is melted and well blended.

Pour this over the oats and nuts.

Stir with a fork until all oats are covered.

Drop on wax paper.

Let set to become firm.
