  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a rolling boil and the sugar is completely dissolved. This should take about 2-3 minutes.

  4. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ¼ teaspoon salt, 1 cup creamy peanut butter, and 3 cups rolled oats. Mix until well combined.
