¼ cup Butter
¾ cup Granulated sugar
3 tbsp Cocoa powder
¼ cup Milk
2 tbsp Corn syrup
1 tsp Vanilla
1 ½ cups Regular rolled oats *
½ cup Coconut
¼ cup Walnuts or pecans

Instructions

Melt butter on medium heat in a heavy saucepan.
Add sugar and stir until dissolved.
Stir in cocoa powder, then add in the milk.
Cook over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil.
Add corn syrup and vanilla.
Return to a rolling boil and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture starts to clean off the sides of the pot (about 3-5 minutes).
Remove from heat and add oats, coconut, and nuts.
Mix well.
Drop by teaspoonfuls onto wax paper.
Cool completely.
Store in an airtight container with wax paper between layers.

Notes

* It is better to use regular rolled oats when baking. Quick or instant oats have been pre-cooked and absorb moisture faster, so whatever you are making may turn out dry or crumbly.
