2259.0. "Oatmeal Candy" by CSC32::K_WORKMAN (TTDRIVER/MODEM Tech Leader 4990) Thu Feb 15 1990 11:15

    I did a DIR/KEYWORD=OATMEAL and only came up with two topics of which
    weren't the long lost receipe I am desperately searching for.  
    
    I used to make an oatmeal type cookie/candy that consisted of some
    of the following ingredients, but lost the receipe so I don't have
    quantities or other ingredients I may be missing.  If your familiar
    with this cookie/candy please include your receipe here!  
    
    What I can remember:
    
    You would heat Karo syrup up, and butter and I think brown suger and
    possibly some other stuff.  You would have to get the temperature
    to heat to correct or it would harden.  Then you would add hersheys
    unsweetned chocolate (powder) and the oatmeal.  Then you spoon it
    on to wax paper and it makes MARVELOUS chocolate oatmeal candy. Can't
    really call it a cookie.  Its somewhat chewy and not to rich...
    
    If you have the receipe I'm searching for I will be indebted to you!
    
    Thanks - Karen

2259.3Maybe not...CSOA1::WIEGMANNThu Feb 15 1990 18:178
    Could you be talking about no-bake cookies, which taste more like candy
    than cookies?   My recipe for these uses sugar, cocoa, peanut butter,
    oatmeal, and you do cook the syrup part before adding the oatmeal.  I
    doubt that these are what you're looking for, but it might be something
    to try then modify if close!

    Regard .4
    
    We call them POODLES... (kind of remind you of poodle fur)
    
    If you cook them longer 5-6 minutes, they will harden in about
    5-10 minutes on the counter and be more like a cookie.
    
    Yum!
