A super simple recipe with only 6 ingredients. Use only one pot to make this. I like to freeze my big cookie sheet lined with wax paper or parchment paper.

Cow Patties


1 stick butter
1 1/2 c Sugar
   1/4 c Cocoa
   1/2 c Milk, evaporated (diluted)or whole milk is better. You can also 
             use  whipping cream. 
   1/2 c Peanut Butter
   1 tablespoon Vanilla
1 cup Oatmeal, quick oats, less if old fashioned.


Melt butter on med-high heat, add sugar, cocoa and milk and heat to boil.  Boil 3 minutes on medium heat. Remove from heat and let mixture cool (approx. 10 minutes).  Stir in vanilla, then peanut butter, then oats. Stir all well.  Cool in fridge about 15 minutes.  Remove from fridge and drop big spoonfuls on lined cookie sheet. Return to fridge to cool. YUM! 

Makes approx. 15 cow patties 2 1/2"-3". You can make them smaller if you want more.


Many people who don't like cow patties will like these because they are not hard or dry and they do not fall apart and cause crumbs. They are moist and delicious. I just made some tonight.
