Chocolate Peanut Butter Oat No-Bake Cookies

trixiefaux's Note:

These cookies are rich, delicious, and easy to make. It is not my recipe -- I found it at Cooks.com under the title "Simple, Sinful Chocolate Cookies". I took a chance as there were no ratings and they came out so good I had to share. I used organic chunky valencia peanut butter in mine.

Made a big pan instead of drop cookies, and cut them into squares. They were excellent, but next time I might add more peanut butter.

I have made these about 4 -5 times. they are great, just like mom used to make but better!

This is a great recipe for no bake cookies. I cut back on the cocoa for personal preference, but they were gone within minutes.
