no bake cookies

I am not a big fan of no bake cookies, but these are truly divine, not to mention easy.

1/2 cube butter
1/2 cup milk (I use skim)
1 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
3 tbs cocoa
1/2 cup peanut butter
2 1/2 - 3 cup quick oats
1 cup mini mallows
1/2 tsp salt

directions: in a saucepan melt the butter and then add milk, sugar, vanilla, salt and coca. Bring to a boil for about 90 seconds. Remove from the heat and stir in peanut butter and oats. Add the oats 1 cup at a time until the consistency is thick, but not too dry (I usually only add 2 1/2 cups, but it depends on humidity, etc). Last, stir in the marshmallows. Do not allow the mallows to completely melt are you won't get the marshmallow swirl pattern in the cookie. Use a cookie scoop or spoon to create the cookies. Let cool on wax paper and then eat and enjoy.

When do I use that last 1/2 tsp. salt?
