How to Make No Bakes

In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt until well combined.
Add ⅓ cup milk and 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) of unsalted butter to the saucepan.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a rolling boil and boils for exactly one minute. Be sure to stir continuously to prevent burning.
Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup creamy peanut butter and 3 cups rolled oats until thoroughly combined.
Spread the mixture evenly onto a baking sheet lined with wax paper. Let it cool completely before cutting into bars.
