Total Time: 12 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 2 mins

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 dash salt
• 1/2 cup evaporated milk
• 1 cup sugar
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 3 cups quick oatmeal
• 3/4 cup dark raisin, chopped
• 1/2 cup honey roasted peanuts, chopped
• powdered sugar

Recipe

• 1 cream together the butter, cocoa, salt, milk, sugars; add the marshmallows and blend.
• 2 transfer marshmallow mixture to a large saucepan; bring to a rolling boil, very slowly, stirring occasionally. allow to boil for 1 - 1 1/2 minutes, stirring constantly. (do not over boil or the cookies will be dry and crumbly.) remove from heat.
• 3 add one-at-a-time the vanilla, peanut butter, oatmeal, raisins, and peanuts to the marshmallow mixture; give a good stir after each ingredient is added.
• 4 line a cookie sheet with waxed paper. once the cookie mixture is cool enough to handle, roll into balls about 1-inch in diameter. dip cookie balls into the powdered sugar and set on the waxed paper until firm (about 45 minutes to an hour).
• 5 store in an air-tight container - if they last that long!
