Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies

Peanut butter and chocolate are an amazing combination. These two simple ingredients come together to make something truly incredible. Growing up I was (and probably still am, honestly) a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup fanatic; they were my go-to sweet treats as a child. As I’ve gotten older I’ve employed the “We can’t have these in the house” method, since anytime we have them in the house, I have no willpower and have passed my days of being able to eat anything and everything I want.

All this to say that I’ve been thinking about healthier ways to still enjoy peanut butter and chocolate together when the craving strikes. I set out to make a chocolate peanut butter dip for apples and bananas. My first attempt failed as a dip, but Joelle (always having a knack for recipe creation) suggested that it would work better as no bake treats. I added in some mix-ins, formed them into chocolate peanut butter cookies, and had a winner!

These delicious no bake peanut butter cookies are exploding with wonderful Peanut Butter and chocolate flavor. They’re healthy, simple to make, and a great source of protein. Make a batch for desserts or for mid-morning and/or afternoon snacks. Pack them for meals on the go, take them to work or school, or eat them as a light breakfast! Or just mix them up and eat it all with a spoon (I won’t judge).
