Yummy Chocolate Mountains

One of our testers named these tasty, no-bake cookies for us. We think she’s right – they’re loaded with oats, bran, coconut and cocoa, and they look like little chocolate mountains!


2 cups sugar 500 mL

½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder 125 mL

½ cup milk, 2% M.F. 125 mL

1/3 cup butter 75 mL

1 tbsp canola oil 15 mL

1 tsp vanilla 5 mL

3 cups quick-cooking rolled oats 750 mL

1¼ cups bran cereal (not flakes) 300 mL

1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut 250 mL


1. Line 3 large baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. In a large saucepan, combine sugar, cocoa powder, milk, butter, oil and vanilla. Stir over medium-high heat until mixture comes to a boil. Boil 1 minute, stirring constantly.

3. Remove from heat. Stir in remaining ingredients and mix well. Drop heaping tablespoonfuls (15 mL) into mounds on prepared baking sheets. Work fast as mixture hardens quickly. Let cool completely before removing from baking sheets.

4. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator or at room temperature for up to 2 days.
