Chocolate Peanut Butter No Bake Cookies

Kiddos enjoying their cookies

After our hard afternoon/evening yesterday we were all in need of some chocolate therapy. Daddy and Uncle Steve suggested these cookies and I was game because of  the whole "No Bake" aspect. If only there were "No Bake, No Dirty Dishes" cookies. I know they have a ton of sugar in them but I feel like the oatmeal and peanut butter redeem them a bit and make them a semi-healthy snack.
I'm sure there are a million recipes for these out there but I settled on the one I found here.


Chocolate Peanut Butter No Bake Cookies

2 cups sugar
4 tablespoons cocoa
1 stick butter
1/2 cup milk
1 cup peanut butter
1 tablespoon vanilla
3 cups oatmeal
Wax paper

In a heavy saucepan bring to a boil the sugar, cocoa, butter and milk. Let boil for 1 minute and then add peanut butter, vanilla and oatmeal. On a sheet of wax paper drop mixture by the teaspoonfuls. Let sit until cooled and hardened. Enjoy!!!
