Ingredients and Variations

BASE Sugar, butter, and milk boil for a minute, this makes up the base!

COCOA Unsweetened cocoa powder is added in for a chocolatey flavor.

PEANUT BUTTER  Peanut butter adds both flavor and texture.

OATS In this recipe you want quick-cooking oats. These oats are a bit finer in texture and help hold together better.
