  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until the butter, cocoa, and sugar are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 cup creamy peanut butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Add 2 cups quick-cooking oats and stir until well combined. The mixture will be thick.
