A delightful no-bake treat combining chocolate and peanut butter flavors with a satisfying crunch.
Combine the sugar, butter, milk, and cocoa powder in a saucepan.
Stir constantly to prevent the mixture from burning.
Bring the mixture to a rolling boil and let it boil for 1 minute.
A rolling boil is when the liquid is boiling vigorously and cannot be stirred down.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until smooth.
Ensure the peanut butter is fully incorporated for a consistent flavor.
Add the quick oats to the mixture and stir until evenly coated.
Work quickly as the mixture will begin to set as it cools.
Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto wax paper using a teaspoon.
Use a second spoon to help shape the clusters neatly.
Allow the clusters to cool and set completely before serving.
Place the clusters in the refrigerator for faster setting.
Serve the clusters as a delightful snack or dessert.
Pair with a warm beverage for a comforting treat.
