1 cup chocolate chips

This is the one I have always used:

Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies (No Bake!)

Ingredients:
1 stick (1/2 c.) butter 1/2 c. cocoa 2 c. sugar 1/2 c. milk 3 c. quick oats 1/2 c. peanut butter 1 tsp. vanilla extract

Directions:
Combine butter, cocoa, sugar and milk in a large saucepan; stir and simmer until bubbles form around the edge of the saucepan, and mixture appears smoothly blended. Remove from heat. Add oats, peanut butter, and vanilla. Stir thoroughly. Drop by rounded Tablespoonful on waxed paper; cool. Store in a container in a cool place. Place container in refrigerator, if storing for a considerable time. It's a nice compromise between nutrition and Chocolate Cravings!

i mail them to my son's..
if you make them but eliminate the oatmeal, and beat it until it loses most of it's gloss after cooking- then spread it into buttered pan.. you make fudge just like the old fashioned hershey's cocoa fudge. it's not a creamy fudge- it's a great fudge- i make both often.. hugs

Adirondack, that's a great idea! Easy fudge. Thanks, I like that idea!

i still think it turns out the same as hershey's old fashioned fudge..
i know the recipe for these with and without oatmeal by heart..
i don't have a candy thermometor- i go by minutes ans texture..for length of cooking times.

I make these without the nuts. We have these every Christmas and Thanksgiving. Our family LOVEs these and they are soooooooo easy!
