1/2 c. chopped walnuts                      1/4 cup cocoa
1 c. sweetened shredded coconut        1/2 c margarine
3 c. instant oats                                1/2 c. canned milk
2 c. sugar                                         1/2 c. peanut butter
1 tsp. vanilla
1 c. miniature marshmallows *

Mix nuts, coconut and oats together. Set aside. Combine sugar, cocoa, margarine and canned milk in large pan. Bring to boil. Remove from heat. Add peanut butter and vanilla. Mix well.

Add mixture of nuts, coconut and oats quickly. Mix. Add marshmallows and mix well. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto cookie sheet lined with wax paper. Chill.

* Let marshmallows stand in open room for about a day or so until they get a little tough. They hold up better than right freshly out of bag, when mixed in.
