These appear in many Amish cookbooks and are also sometimes called funeral cookies since they can he made in a hurry and taken to the grieving family. There's no baking at all involved; the cooking process takes place on top of the stove.
I must tell you, I didn't expect to like them. Well, was I surprised! They have a wonderful chocolate peanut butter flavor and slightly chewy texture. And they're so easy to make. Let your children help with these; you will be creating confirmed cooks!

2 cups sugar
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt

In a small saucepan, over medium heat, mix the butter, milk, sugar, and cocoa; bring to a boil and cook for 1 minute.
