Peanut Yummies

My mom got to come spend time with me last week to see the new baby and bond with Jaime.  We were pleased that Jaime warmed up to her.  By the end of the week she was heading downstairs to see "Gammah!" ("Grandma!") in the morning of her own volition.

While she was here I had her and Jaime make a treat from my childhood that I hadn't had since then.  Peanut Yummies were just the thing.



Peanut Yummies
Bring 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup butter and 1/3 cup evaporated milk to a rolling boil in a medium saucepan.  Boil 3 minutes stirring often.  Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup chunky peanut butter and 1/2 tsp vanilla; fold in 1 cup rolled oats and 1/2 cup peanuts.  Drop spoonfuls on waxed paper.  Chill until set (if you can wait that long).
