That is a very good idea, and perfect for a hot summer day when you don't want to heat your house up anymore than it may be! Thankfully we have central air, but it works mighty hard sometimes!!!
Have you ever made those no-bake cookies that are a childhood favorite of mine and so many other people I know?
1 stick of butter
1/4 C cocoa
2 C sugar
1/2 C milk
1/2 C peanut butter
3 C quick oatmeal
1 tsp vanilla
pinch of salt
Put butter, sugar, cocoa, milk and salt in pan, bring to a boil. Boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add peanut butter, stirring until smooth. Then add oatmeal and vanilla. Drop by medium spoonfuls onto a sheet of wax paper. Let cool.
