How to Make Chocolate Nut Chews
- In a heavy-bottomed 2-quart saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, ½ cup milk, and ¼ cup (½ stick) unsalted butter.
- Stir over medium heat, constantly, until the mixture comes to a rolling boil and bubbles all over.
- Continue to boil and stir vigorously for exactly 2 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat immediately.
- Stir in 1 cup creamy peanut butter until it is completely melted and fully incorporated into the mixture.
- Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 cups quick-cooking rolled oats, and 1 cup chopped nuts (peanuts, walnuts, or a mix!). Stir to combine thoroughly.
- Using two teaspoons, drop rounded teaspoons of the mixture onto a sheet of wax paper.
- Allow the chews to cool and set completely at room temperature before serving.
