oatmeal treats

This treat is tooth aching sweet, combining 2 cups of sugar and a half cup of chocolate together. I feel immoral posting it nearly, with the levels of diabetes. But nevertheless, it is a recipe which has resided in my family's recipe collection for decades. The flavors of sugar and chocolate are complemented by the oatmeal and peanut butter. The recipe goes over well with small children who adore sweets but likely is too sweet for adults or older children to enjoy. Back in the day before abundance, this was a treat that didn't hurt you.
