Wonderful! I've made this recipe a bunch of times and like it much better than my old no-bake recipe. They always turn out just right. I've found the recipe can hold quite a bit more oatmeal than called for, that way I can justify eating them for breakfast :p -
I ate these alot growing up (in the '70s). Its so good to see old recipes like these are still circulating and loved. I found living in Florida now, that if you boil the mixture at least 3 mins maybe up to 4 or 5 mins, they will set without chilling them. If you don't boil long enough say 1 min, they turn out sticky and don't set well at all.

My mom made these and alot of other things when i was young. These are one of my favorite cookies and now my daughter's. I like to try to different things so i have added butterscotch chips, vanilla chips, coconut, peanuts,& toffee chips in with them. They all have all turned out good and rich. I didn't use them all at the same time but would be worth trying. -
I use to make this reciepe when I was a kid. I forgot all about it. Now I can pass this one one to my kids. Thanks for a quick, easy and tasty receipe. and some great childhood memories with "my mommy". Thanks again

I have always used Old Fashioned Oats and real salted butter. I've learned somewhere along the way that Margarine is made with plastic and was originally white and made to fatten up Turkeys. Once the margarine was no longer used for this purpose, they added yellow food coloring and decided to feed humans this garbage. If you will take notice when you use it on your toast, the bread takes on the consistency of that of watered bread. Not appealing at all. Also it has been learned through scientific studies that margarine is much worse than real cream butter to our health. With all of this said, I no longer, and will never use margarine for cooking or on any of my food or recipes.

These are fantastic. I used organic peanut butter, and replaced some of the oatmeal with coconut. I found it easier to mix in the PB and oatmeal with the heat still on. Next time I make them I'm going to try Hershey's Special Dark cocoa. DangerChef says Yum!

I also remember this one from my childhood! We used to call them landmines and made them with coconut instead of peanut butter. I made these last night and they're brilliant. One point - I made them with soft margarine once and they didn't set. Now I only use butter or hard margarine.
