Ingredients

1/2 cup margarine or butter
2 cups white sugar
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup milk
3/4 cup peanut butter
2 1/2 cups quick oats (or 2 cups oats and 1/2 cup coconut)

Directions

Mix margarine, sugar, cocoa powder and milk in a pan over medium-high heat (I like to use my electric skillet). When it reaches a rolling boil, time it for 90 seconds, stirring constantly. Take off the heat and mix in the peanut butter, then the oats (and/or coconut).

Spoon out drops onto waxed paper. Cool.

Options: At Easter, you can make these into chocolate "nests," using pastel M&M candies or Cadbury eggs in the center.
