Peanut Butter Chocolate No-Bake Cookies


Stephen is back at camp this week and before he left, I wanted to send him with a special treat.  I saw these granola snacks on two peas and their pod and they looked so good and easy.  I didn't have all the ingredients so I changed them around a little bit and was so happy with the results!  They remind me of no-bake cookies my mom used to make but they have a little twist.  So if you have 15 minutes and a few ingredients, you can make these too!  Also, you don't have to turn on the oven, which is a major plus with the hot weather we've been having!  Hope you have a good week at camp Stephen! Lilly and I miss you!

2 cups oats
2 cups crisp rice cereal
1/2 cup peanut butter
2/3 cup honey
2 Tablespoons butter
1 cup chocolate chips + 1/2 cup chocolate chips (to melt and drizzle on top!)
  • Combine the oats and cereal in a bowl.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine the peanut butter and butter until is melts a little and becomes a smooth mixture (this doesn't take but a few minutes)
  • Add the peanut butter, honey, and chocolate chips to the cereal mixture and stir until it's well mixed.  
  • Use a small cookie scoop and place cookies on wax paper. (It's important to pack the mixture into the scoop so it will stay in a ball) Allow them to sit for about 15 minutes or until set. 
  • Melt the remaining chocolate chips, pour the chocolate into a ziploc bag, cut a small hole in the edge of the bag and drizzle! 
Enjoy!
