No Bake Chocolate Cookies

1/2 cup butter or margarine
2 (1-ounce) squares unsweetened baking chocolate*
2 cups granulated sugar
Pinch kosher or coarse salt
1/2 cup 2% milk
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups quick-cooking oats

1. Have all ingredients measured and ready. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper or foil; set aside.
2. In a large heavy saucepan melt the butter and chocolate over medium heat, stirring constantly. Add the sugar, salt and milk and continue stirring until mixture comes to a full rolling boil. Without stirring, let mixture boil for exactly 3 minutes, no more - no less. Immediately remove from heat.
3. Stir in peanut butter and vanilla, stirring until peanut butter has melted. Quickly stir in the oats, mixing well.
4. Working fast, drop mixture by spoonfuls onto waxed paper or foil. Allow to cool and become firm, about 30 minutes.

Makes 24 cookies.
