Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 3 cups Rolled oats
- 0.75 cup Shredded sweetened coconut
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, cocoa powder, and milk.
Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until the butter has melted and the mixture comes to a rolling boil.
Allow the mixture to boil for 1 minute without stirring, then remove it from the heat.
Quickly stir in the vanilla extract, peanut butter, and salt, mixing until the peanut butter is fully incorporated and smooth.
Add the rolled oats and shredded coconut to the saucepan, stirring until the mixture is evenly combined.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper.
Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, drop portions of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming 'frogs' or small mounds.
Let the macaroons cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or for faster results, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Once set, transfer the frogs/macaroons to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to 5 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Serve and enjoy your delicious chocolatey treats!
