Chocolate-Peanut Butter No-Bake Cookies

These classic no-bake cookies are entirely pantry-friendly!  All the ingredients are things you can have on hand in your pantry.  Since they're mostly oats, this is a fairly hearty treat, too.

CHOCOLATE-PEANUT BUTTER NO-BAKE COOKIES

PREP TIME:  15 minutes
CHILL TIME:  2 hours

INGREDIENTS
  • 1/2 c. butter-flavor Crisco  (original recipe:  margarine)
  • 1/3 c. unsweetened cocoa
  • 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 c. peanut butter
  • 1 c. peanuts (optional)
  • 2  1/2 c. quick oats

DIRECTIONS
In a saucepan over medium-high heat, melt the butter-flavor Crisco.  Whisk in cocoa, then bring to a boil.  Remove from heat.  Whisk in the sweetened condensed milk.  Whisk in the peanut butter.  Stir in the peanuts and oats.  Drop by tablespoons onto waxed paper.  Chill 2 hours.

  4. I never really have peanut butter, I do like it, but just don't make anything with it. However, I love the idea of no bake cookies! :) Will be giving this a try! Sim x #UnlimitedLinkParty

    1. Peanut butter is to the U.S. like Nutella is to Europe ;) so if you're in the UK you should definitely try these with Nutella instead! That sounds divine. Thanks for visiting and commenting.
