CHARLOTTE, N.C. — We had a special treat for Tasty Tuesday this week. We whipped up a recipe from one of our viewers.

Elaine Phillips from Hudson, North Carolina, calls this the “easiest candy recipe you will ever enjoy.”

Ingredients:

12 oz. jar of peanut butter

1 can of cake icing (vanilla or chocolate will work)

1 cup of coconut

1 cup of oats

Instructions:

Mix peanut butter & icing and microwave for about 2.5 minutes

Stir in the coconut and oats while the peanut butter mixture is still hot

Let it set in the fridge for at least 30 minutes

Slice into squares & enjoy!
