Chocolate Haystacks

Another childhood favorite!

3 cups uncooked quick oats
1/2 c. coconut
1/2 c. chopped walnuts
1/2 c. cocoa
1/2 c. undiluted evaporated milk
1/2 c. butter
2 c. sugar
1/4 tsp. vanilla

Mix together oats, coconut, and nuts in large bowl. Combine cocoa, milk, butter, and sugar in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until it reaches a full boil. Continue boiling for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Add vanilla. Pour over cereal mixture. Mix with a fork until cereal mixture is well coated. Drop from a teaspoon to waxed paper. Work rapidly. Let stand until firm.
