Crock Pot No Bake Cookies: Fudgy

Instructions:

1. Combine the butter, sugar, milk, cocoa powder, and salt directly into the crock pot. Whisk until the cocoa is mostly integrated. Note: Don't worry about lumps yet; the heat will smooth it out.
2. Set the slow cooker to LOW and cook for 2 hours until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture looks like a thick syrup.
3. Turn off the crock pot immediately.
4. Stir in the creamy peanut butter and vanilla extract until the mixture is glossy and smooth. Note: Do this while the pot is still hot so the peanut butter melts in.
5. Gradually stir in the quick cooking oats until every oat is thoroughly coated.
6. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
7. Allow cookies to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes until they lose their initial shine.
8. Move the cookies to the refrigerator for another 30 minutes until they feel firm to the touch.
