1/2 cup butter
3 cups uncooked oatmeal
1 cup shredded coconut
1/2 cup cocoa
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup chopped nuts
Instructions
Gently boil 5 minutes (no more or less), milk, sugar and butter. Remove from heat.
To the boiled mixture add: oats, coconut, cocoa, vanilla and nuts. Stir well until the mixture thickens.
