My Husband's Super Amazing World's Best No-Bake Cookies

Yeah, the title pretty much sums up how amazing these are :) Super amazing, they taste similar to Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, because he puts in extra peanut butter. They are SOO good, and stay soft for a long time!! (I don't know how long they stay soft... At least a day or two. They don't really last that long around our apartment. They're too yummy.)

So, here's the recipe the whole world has been waiting for!!! TA-DA!!! :D


Ingredients:
2 cups sugar (feel free to have them just a little bit overflowing)
4 TBS cocoa
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup milk
1 1/2 cups peanut butter (MUST BE CREAMY)
1 TBS vanilla
3 1/2 cups oatmeal
waxed paper or non-stick cookie sheets

Directions:
In a heavy saucepan at medium-ish temperature, bring to boil the sugar, cocoa, butter, and milk. Let boil for 1 minute then add peanut butter and vanilla. Stir until completely melted. Then stir in the oatmeal. On the waxed paper or non-stick cookie sheets, drop in whatever size you want to eat them in and let them cool.

Fun Dating Ideas

I'm sure many people have those moments of mental shortages where they just CAN'T think of any fun new date ideas. So, here are some that I have done with my husband to get some of your own creative juices flowing.

Go to Savers and pick out the ugliest outfit you can find for your date.


Zucchini Boat Racing:
Hollow out zucchinis, stick toothpicks around them for leverage, and race them down a river.























Go to Cornbelly's at Thanksgiving Point.
Not Necessarily for the corn maze. I'd go back just for the life-sized Lincoln Logs!!!!








Go "Glidging" (We made this word up for the following activity)
Build boats using JUST masking tape, straws, toothpicks, and marshmallows. Then make a main marshmallow character to ride your boat. Race them down the stream. You can win in several categories:
Who's character stays dry the longest
Who's boat stays afloat/together the longest

Who's boat is the fastest
