Easy No-Bake Yummy Snickerdoodles

What a coincidence. I just wrote my “About this Blog” page where I said,
Recording recipes here will be a real time saver. Not only can I print them off as I need them, but now when my daughters call me on the phone for a recipe I can say it’s on my blog…
Within the hour, my sister called and asked me for this recipe. Now I can post it here and email her the link. Hi Sis!
Some people call these no-bake oatmeal cookies. My family has always called them Snickerdoodles. I think of it more as candy than cookies.
Easy No-Bake Snickerdoodles
2 cups sugar
1 stick butter (1/2 cup)
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/2 tablespoons cocoa
1/2 cup peanut butter
3 cups oats
1/2 cup raisins (optional)
In a medium saucepan, combine all ingredients except peanut butter and oats and cook over medium heat. Let boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter. oats, and raisins.
Spoon out quickly onto wax paper or aluminum foil. Candy will harden as it sets.
