Ever wish you could just whip up a bit of chocolate-y goodness on the boat but haven’t quite figured out a way to do it without heating up the oven and with ingredients that are easy to carry?

Whether as an evening treat as you’re star-gazing at anchor or an afternoon snack on an active day, these Chocolate-Oatmeal No-Bake Cookies are delicious, take only 10 minutes, require just one burner on the stove and have several variations!

Chocolate-Oatmeal No-Bake Cookies

Total Time: 10 minutes

Makes about 1 dozen cookies (depending on size)

1 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter OR margarine
1/4 cup unsweetened baking cocoa
1/4 cup milk OR water
2 tablespoons peanut butter (creamy or crunchy; optional)
1 1/2 cups oatmeal (instant or quick cooking are best, but you can use old-fashioned)

Mix all ingredients EXCEPT oatmeal in saucepan. Bring to boil, stirring constantly. Boil 3 minutes. Remove from fire and stir in oatmeal.

For “cookies” – drop onto waxed paper or aluminum foil coated with cooking spray.

For “bars” – line a pan (I use an 7” frying pan) with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray. Put mixture into the pan and press it down. Cut into bars when cool.

Variation: If you don’t have oatmeal, you can use corn flakes or Rice Krispies or any similar cereal.
