No-Bake Boiled Chocolate Fudge Oatmeal Cookies (Peanut Butter Op image

My family's favourite childhood snack. I like it with smooth peanut butter, my mom likes it with crunchy peanut butter, my sister likes it without any peanut butter at all...you decide! Or spoon out some of the cookies and add peanut butter to the other portion! For the nuts, I've done everything from pecans to cashews to coconut! Try it differently each time.

If this happens to completely during cooking, you might want to pour mixture into a bread pan and slice and serve like fudge or simply start over. When this occurs while spooning, speed it up!).
