Haystacks - Colette Gines

I used to make this recipe years ago but haven’t made it for a long time. I thought since we are doing whole grain recipes, we still should have some whole grain goodies! (I guess the oats will qualify them for whole grain) Some people call these chocolate no bake cookies, but we called them haystacks!

Haystacks - Colette Gines

4 cups sugar
2/3 cups cocoa
1 cup milk
1 cup butter
1 tsp vanilla
2 dashes of salt

Boil for a couple minutes to make the chocolate syrup then add

7 cups oats
1 cup coconut
1 cup of nuts (I personally prefer to add an extra cup of coconut instead of the nuts).

Drop onto waxed paper using cookie scoop or teaspoons. Let set until dry then enjoy!
