2 cups sugar
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup butter
6 T. cocoa
3 cups quick oatmeal
1 t. vanilla
1/2 t. salt
1 cup coconut
1/2 cup chopped nuts
Mix sugar, milk, and butter in a pan and bring to a rolling boil. Remove from heat and add the other ingredients. Mix together and drop by spoonfuls onto waxed paper.
This is a great recipe to make with small helpers.

Thanks for the recipe without peanut butter, which mine has a half cup.
Middle Son has developed a mild allergy to the stuff, so I'm revamping the goodies while he's home.
