I have used this recipe for years and I have found that if you boil the sugar, cocoa powder, margarine and milk for less than 2 minutes after bubbles are breaking the surface, they never really set up. You don't want to over boil either or they set up like rocks. The kids love to make these to take to gatherings. And no, you don't have to add peanut butter, and if you want a darker chocolate taste, you can increase the cocoa powder.
