Here is a simple, time-saving recipe for a popular item regularly offered to the Platypus Wine Tour guests.
Platypus No-Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies

Place the sugar, butter, milk, and cocoa powder in a sauce pot, and bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Boil for 2 minutes, stirring often.
Move the mixture to a mixing bowl. Add the oatmeal, coconut, peanut butter, Nutella, vanilla, and salt. Mix well and quickly (since the cookies will set fast!)
