Instructions
In a medium sauce pan, combine sugar, milk, butter, and cocoa powder. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it starts to boil. Let boil for 1 minute. Then take the pan off the heat.
Add the peanut butter, chocolate chips, oats, Rice Krispies, coconut, vanilla, and salt. Stir to combine well.
Using a disher scoop or spoon, portion into tablespoon sized cookies. I like to slightly flatten the cookie to give it a more organic shape. Move into the fridge to let set for about 15 minutes. Store in an airtight container.
Notes
Coconut milk worked well for those with dairy allergies.
Earth Balance or coconut oil would work in place of butter.
Make sure your chocolate chips are vegan if you're cooking for someone dairy free.
Sunflower seed butter or soy nut butter will work to replace peanut butter for those with peanut allergies.
