MOM'S (not mine) NO-BAKE CRAZY COOKIES

MOM'S (not mine) NO-BAKE CRAZY COOKIES
These were super yummy!  Nice change from the normal no-bake cookies.  Perfect for a summer FHE treat.

Mom’s No-Bake Crazy Cookies of Incomparable Delight
Makes about 2 dozen cookies, depending on the size of your scoops
1 cup natural peanut butter
3 cups oatmeal 
2 cups of sugar
4 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder (Dutch-pressed if you have it)
1 stick of butter
½ cup milk
1 cup nuts (optional – if using, try walnut or pecan pieces)
Whatever filler you like—coconut, M&Ms, chocolate chips, raisins. . .
Bring the sugar, cocoa, butter, and milk to a simmer in a large pan, stirring or whisking until the sugar is dissolved and the ingredients are combined. When combined, remove from heat and add in the rest of the ingredients, stirring until it all comes together. The “dough” will be sticky and smell like a dream come true. Scoop pieces of the dough big as you like onto waxed paper and let cool. When cool, they’ll be less sticky and quite easy to handle. Dangerously easy. Enjoy with a tall glass of milk while catching up with your loved ones.
