Chocolate PeanutButter Fudge Cookies (No Bake)

Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge Cookies (No Bake)

A very unattractive cookie, but don’t let the look of them fool you. They are addictive! These are so quick and easy,  awesome to make with the kiddos. I used smooth peanut butter and dry roasted peanut, but you could omit the peanuts all together or use crunch style peanut butter.

*Note: From now on I will be including full sugar versions of my sweets recipes.

Just keep in mind that the pictures for the recipes will be of the no sugar version, so your result w/full sugar version will look a bit different.

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine oats, peanut butter, and peanuts. Mix together until peanut butter is evenly distributed on the oats. Set aside.

In a medium saucepan melt butter on med. heat. Add milk, vanilla, splenda or sugar, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir with a wire whisk until smooth. On medium heat, bring to a full boil, stirring almost constantly to avoid burning. After you reach a full boil remove from heat and pour into oat mixture. Mix well to coat all the oats.

Scoop mixture using a cookie scoop or a tbsp. If using a tbsp do a heaping scoop. Drop them onto wax paper. I used a scoop and left them round, but you could shape these into any shape you like. Let cool on counter.

When completely cool transfer to refrigerator.

Makes abt 24 cookies
