No-Bake Chewy Fudge Cookies
1 c brown sugar
5 T butter
¼ c hot cocoa mix
3 T powdered milk
3 T water
1½ c oatmeal
¼ c walnuts or almonds (leave this out if there are any nut allergies)
½ t vanilla
Mix sugar, butter, cocoa, and milk (made from the milk powder and water) together in a pan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and boil 3 minutes until mixture is thickened. Stir constantly to prevent scorching (you may need to hold pan/pot above the flame to prevent overheating and scorching. Use a pan clamp to do so) Remove from heat and stir in remaining ingredients. Drop by spoonfuls onto a flat surface such as pan lids, plates or foil. Let set for about10 minutes to harden. Make sure to place them in shade, as heat and hot weather does not promote proper setting.
