2 cups sugar
1 stick margarine or butter
1/2 cup milk
2 packages of swiss mis
a large spoonful of peanut butter

Take off the heat and add in the oatmeat-swiss miss- peanut butter and continue to stir until it is all mixed. When it is mixed together, take a spoon and maeasure out large spoonfulls of the mixture onto the wax paper. It is important to do this quickly, in less than 5 minutes.
