OATMEAL FUDGIES

This recipe is being requested by Joni. She called and said she is craving them because people have been talking about them. This is Mom’s original recipe for them so brothers and sisters, these are the ones we grew up on.

Now I had to make an adjustment here because I didn’t have any cocoa powder. Pretend there isn’t any unsweetened chocolate in this pan. Melt 1/2 cup butter.

Add 2 cups of sugar

And 1/2 cup milk
Bring this mixture to a boil.

In a separate bowl, combine 3 cups quick cooking oatmeal, 1 cup of coconut and 1/4 cup cocoa powder. This doesn’t have the cocoa in it because I had to use the other stuff you see in the pan above.

Pour the liquid into the oatmeal mixture and beat it well.

Stir in 1 tsp vanilla. You can also stir in 1/2 cup of walnuts at this point. That is if you’re fond of them.

Drop onto a cookie sheet covered with waxed paper, if you don’t have the paper, just coat the pan with some butter.

I dare you to eat only one. They do freeze well.
