4 tablespoons cocoa
3 1/2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla

In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, milk, butter, salt and cocoa. Bring to a boil, and cook for 1 1/2 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in oats and vanilla. Drop by teaspoonful's onto wax paper. Let cool until hardened.
