A Tasty Treat to Chase Away the Winter Blues

 

No-Bake Chocolate Haystacks

Beat the winter blues with these scrumptious no-bake chocolate coconut cookies. They are super easy and fast to make; not to mention, they’re easy on the pocketbook. The most challenging part of making these is trying not to devour them all before they’re made!

Cook Time: 10 minutes. Makes 18-24 cookies

Ingredients:

2 cups white sugar

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup cocoa powder

1/4 tsp salt

3 cups quick oats

1 cup unsweetened coconut

1/2 tsp vanilla

Method:

1)Place a medium-sized pot over medium heat.

2) Add the first five ingredients to the pot and wait until they come to a simmer. Cook a few minutes more. (Don’t taste test or you’ll burn your lips off!)

3) Next, add the oats, the coconut, and then the vanilla.

4) Mix quickly and then use a tablespoon to drop cookies onto a wax paper-covered cookie sheet.

5) Now, the hard part: you’ll have to wait about two hours for them to cool at room temperature until they are firm and ready to eat.

6) Store the cookies in a sealed container or cover with plastic wrap to keep them from drying out.

Enjoy!!
