In a medium saucepan, combine the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and milk. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the butter has melted and all ingredients are well combined.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Allow it to boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly to avoid scorching. Remove the pan from the heat.
Stir in the vanilla extract, salt, and peanut butter. Mix well until the peanut butter is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
Add the rolled oats to the saucepan and stir until the oats are fully coated with the chocolate mixture.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten slightly with the back of the spoon if desired.
Optional: Sprinkle with shredded coconut, chocolate chips, or your preferred toppings while the mixture is still warm.
Allow the Fiddle Diddles to cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or place them in the refrigerator for faster setting.
Once firm, serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
