Yummy chocolate recipes?

Question

Does anyone have any recipes that use cocoa powder instead of chocolate? Can be anything, muffins, slice, biscuits, etc.

I've got cocoa, peanuts, coconut, almonds, condensed milk, plus all the other baking staples like eggs, flour, etc... Doesn't have to contain all those, it's just what I got.

Thanks for your help!

Here's a recipe for no bake cookies that I like:

NO BAKE CHOCOLATE-OATMEAL COOKIES

1/4 c. butter

4 tbsp. cocoa

2 c. sugar

3 c. oats

1/2 c. milk

1 tsp. vanilla

Mix together all ingredients except oats and vanilla. Let boil for 3 minutes. Add vanilla and oats. Mix rapidly and drop by tablespoons onto waxed paper. Let cool.

If you type No bake cookies into a search there are a lot of different recipes.  Most of them use peanut butter as well.  I like this one better though.  Really quick and easy and even kids can help.
