No-Bake Oatmeal Coconut Treats



My favorite cookie in the whole world is my great-grandma's recipe for no-bake peanut butter oatmeal cookies.  I haven't yet found a clean alternative for peanut butter, so when I cleaned up this recipe, I decided to try using coconut instead.  It was fabulous!  They tasted like an Almond Joy without the almond. :)


Ingredients

1 cup raw honey
4 tablespoons unsweetened baking cocoa
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup milk
2 cups old fashioned oatmeal
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (the real stuff, not the imitation!  Imitation is full of junk.)

Bring honey, cocoa, butter, and milk to a boil on the stove stirring constantly.  Boil only 1 minute.  Add already prepared remaining ingredients.  Stir together and spoon onto wax paper.  Let sit until set up.
