- optional: 1/4 cup shredded coconut
Directions:
Combine sugar, cocoa, coconut oil, and milk in a saucepan. On medium heat, bring to a boil. Once mixture has reached a rolling boil, boil for exactly 1 minute.
Remove from heat. Stir in peanut butter and oatmeal. Also stir in shredded coconut, if using.
