High Fiber Candy (Chocolate Easter Eggs)



A rare treat. Very rare. They are so good, I dare not make them often.
I used to make these at Easter time because John especially liked them. I made some when David and Amber visited. They are really satisfying.

Chocolate Easter Eggs
1 and 1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup cocoa (I use hershey's)
3/4 cup milk (soy milk is fine)
1/4 cup butter (that is one half of a stick)
1/2 cup peanut butter (all natural, of course)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 or 4 1/2 cups quick cooking oatmeal.

~Combine sugar, cocoa, milk and butter in saucepan. Bring to a boil over med. heat. Boil for one minute only. Remove from heat. Stir in remaining ingredients, mixing well. Let mixture cool awhile in saucepan. Shaoe spoonfuls into egg shape (or round balls) and roll in shredded coconut (the unsweetened finely shredded coconut you get at health food stores.) Store in covered plastic container in fridge.
