Ingredients
No Bake Cookies
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups quick oats

Instructions
No Bake Cookies
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside
- Add the butter, sugar, milk and cocoa powder to a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil on medium heat, stirring occasionally. Boil for roughly one minute.
- Remove from heat and stir in the peanut butter, vanilla, and salt. Mix until peanut butter is smooth. Then, add the oats until combined.
- Drop spoonfuls of the mixture (about 2 tablespoons per cookie) onto the prepared baking sheets, and let sit at room temperature for roughly 3-5 minutes until someone cooled, but not completely hardened.
- Make a hole the center of each cookie using a large straw. Put the edible groundhog in the no-bake cookie mound. Let the cookies cool like this until set.
Macaroons
- Frost each macaroon using a piping bag.
- Add the teddy graham to the top of the frosting and serve.
