Choco Peanut No-Bake (Print Version)

Super quick chocolate peanut butter bites with oats, made fast and you don’t need to bake a thing.

# Ingredients:

→ Base Mixture

01 - 67 g light or dark brown sugar
02 - 300 g granulated sugar
03 - 120 ml whole milk
04 - 67 g cocoa powder
05 - 115 g unsalted butter

→ Texture and Flavour

06 - 10 ml vanilla extract
07 - 2.5 g salt
08 - 170 g creamy peanut butter
09 - 240 g quick oats

# Steps:

01 - Once they've cooled down, pop the cookies in a sealed container. They'll be good on the counter for about a week, or stash them in the fridge if that's how you like them.
02 - Let everything sit out for twenty to thirty minutes, or just check for a firm feel before moving them.
03 - Use two spoons or a medium cookie scoop to quickly plop the mixture onto your lined pans as soon as you're done mixing.
04 - Blend in the rest of the quick oats after folding in 160 g. Then stir through the vanilla, salt, and creamy peanut butter till everything's barely pulled together.
05 - Keep an eye out for bubbles all around the pan. As soon as it's been boiling for a minute, take it off the stove.
06 - Toss the sugars, butter, milk, and cocoa into your saucepan. Let it warm up over medium heat while you stir every now and then.
07 - First things first—cover two big pans with parchment or silicone mats. Put them aside for now.

# Notes:

01 - Don't eyeball your oats—measure them! If you let the sugar mix boil too long, your cookies could end up tough.
02 - Cookies will firm up quicker if you use silicone, but parchment does the trick too.
