Chocolate Oatmeal-Crispy No Bake Cookies

There are no nuts in this recipe.

2 cups sugar
1/2 cup margarine
3 tablespoons cocoa
1/4 teaspoon salt (if using unsalted margarine)
About 6 tablespoons rice milk (or other types of milk)
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups rolled oats
1 cup crispy rice cereal

Mix oatmeal and crispy rice cereal together in a bowl.  Bring sugar, margarine, cocoa,
(salt), and milk to a boil.  Add vanilla and stir.  Add chocolate mixture to the oatmeal
mixture.  Stir.  Drop by teaspoonful onto cookie sheet or wax paper.  For less crumbly
cookies, smash the cookie mixture against the side of the pan or bowl, or your hand
(if cool enough to handle).  You can make balls with your hands (if cool). Let cool.
Makes about 90-100 small teaspoon sized cookies.

Note:  If it gets crumbly, add a little more milk and warm it up on the stove slightly.
