Easy Fudgy No Bakes
You know those recipes that make you think of your childhood but then you come to find out it wasn’t actually some long passed-down family recipe but just kind of happened upon the family at some point during that time? This is that recipe for me. I always thought it was one of my mom’s but it turns out, I believe, my brother got it from someone down the line. And that’s all I know.
I remember a kitchen countertop lined with parchment paper covered in these chocolate, fudgy blobs. We must have been on a kick of them off and on for me to so vividly remember them as a kid-me dessert but even now, they hit the spot.
This is one of the easiest recipes you can make if you’re having a chocolate craving, and you likely already have all the ingredients in your pantry. The chocolate mixture has a near brownie batter flavor and mixed with the oats, makes for the perfect chew and quick bite. Plus it’s no bake! Outside of a quick meltdown on the stove (the chocolate not you), pour everything together in a bowl and portion them out to cool! They also make a ton, so once they’re ready you can easily chuck some in the freezer for a yummy future treat.

Equipment
- Measuring Cups
- Measuring Spoons
- Mixing Bowl
- Spatula
- Medium Pot
- Parchment Paper
Ingredients
- 2 cups sugar
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- ½ cup milk
- ¾ cup butter
- 5 cups of oats
- 1 tsp vanilla
Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine the sugar, cocoa powder, milk, and butter. Place over medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
- Stir vanilla extract into the cocoa mixture.
- Place your oats in a bowl and pour your cocoa mixture over them. If your pot is big enough, you can also just add your oats to the chocolate mixture. Stir to combine
- Using a tablespoon, drop two tablespoons per ball onto a piece of parchment paper. You may need to use your fingers to bring the “ball” together (it will likely look more like a cluster)
- Allow to cool completely at room temperature. They should be firm and easily peel from the parchment paper once they are ready.
