Bring to boil, stirring constantly.
Boil 3 minutes. Time it!
Remove from fire and stir in oatmeal.
For “cookies” – drop onto waxed paper or aluminum foil coated with Pam.
For “bars” – line a pan (I use an 7” frying pan) with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray. Put mixture into the pan and press it down. Cut into bars when cool.
You can eat them as soon as they're cool enough to handle!
