No Bake Cookies

Chocolate for BREAKFAST

This is my way of it being okay to have chocolate for breakfast.  What?  There is a good healthy dose of oatmeal in each cookie!

2 cups sugar
3 tbsp cocoa
¼ cup butter
¼ cup butter flavored Crisco
½ cup milk
3 cups rolled oats
1 tsp vanilla
2½ heaping tbsp chunky peanut butter
¼ cup toasted coconut
½ cup raw peanuts

Melt butter and Crisco together in medium/large sauce pan; add sugar, cocoa and milk and bring to a boil.  Boil one minute and remove from heat.  Stir in peanut butter, vanilla, oats, peanuts and coconut.  Drop by mounds on waxed paper and let cool completely (they will harden as they cool).  Great with morning coffee!
