David's No-Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Drops

"These really easy, rich had delicious Chocolate Drops have been made by my husband pretty much for as long as we've been married. He gives them by the plateful at Christmas and everyone looks forward to them. He used to use evaporated milk but we don't usually have that on hand so he switched to regular milk. You could use either. Dont' be fooled by their apperance at first as they might look too runny, but they will set up after they sit and cool for a few minutes. I have seen variations of this with peanut butter, but these are peanut butter free."

  1. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!! I've been looking for this recipe for ages. I despise the combination of chocolate and peanut butter - and lost my original recipe for these - I was becoming desperate when every recipe I found had either peanut butter or coconut and I wanted the cookies I remember from my childhood!
     
  2. My husband love this kind of cookie. I Read all the recipes over and over. I made yours recipe today and he was very pleased with it. It is hard to make these with out them wanting to crumble. He ate one and said This is it and just loved it. Thank you for posting this. it will be along time cookie in our home.
     
  3. My family loves these cookies and they are very easy to make and keep in the fridge.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I grew up in Tucson but moved to Colorado in 1989 and live in a household with my husband, Dad, daughter and 3-year old twin granddaughters. Our 8-year old grandson spends 2 nights a week with us. All of that adds up to often difficult menu ideas to met everyone's tastes. Zaar is very addicting and I love trying the recipes I find here. I like to find recipes of people that I see are still active on Zaar and love it when I hear back from the Chef after I review the recipe. Everytime someone reviews one of my recipes, I like to find one of theirs to make and review as quickly as possible. It's a way for me to find great chefs I don't know yet too! My husband has high blood sugar so we try to watch our carbs, but it is not easy because we love them so much! I was diagnosed with brain tumors in 2005 and so far have had 5 surgeries that have left my eyelid droopy. I hope to have a surgery that will correct that soon!! There is still one tumor they have not removed but my wonderful doctor James Garrity at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester MN says they will leave it alone until or if it ever causes problems!
