When you don’t have a lot of time and you need cookies FAST – these No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies will save the day!
I swear, with as much baking as I do, it never fails that when my family is craving cookies – we’re out. Seriously though, HOW is that possible?? You guys see the number of baked goods that I churn out…and they all magically disappear.
Fortunately we live in a world where no bake cookies exist. No bake cookies are fast and fabulous and a total lifesaver when you don’t have much time. Or, when you just don’t feel like messing with your oven or all the hassle that comes with traditional baked cookies.
These no bake cookies are a breeze to pull together and feature two of my favorite flavors – chocolate and peanut butter. And, of course, when I think of chocolate and peanut butter…I think Reese’s!
I used Reese’s peanut butter chips for some amazing peanut butter flavor and sprinkled on some Reese’s Pieces on top for some added color and texture. PLUS, who doesn’t get excited when they see Reese’s Pieces???
These cookies have 3 CUPS of oats in them so they really are quite filling and make an excellent snack for the boys. With summer approaching I know that I will be turning a lot more to no bake treats and these cookies will be just perfect!

Love this idea, I was getting some Reese’s ingredients for that wonderful Reese’s explosion banana bread and got Reese’s pieces too ( oops lol). Now I have something to use them for instead of chowing the whole bag to myself. Pinned for later. 🙂 Thanks for the great recipe.

I love how you jazzed up these chocolate peanut butter no bake cookies with Reese’s pieces and chips, Trish! I would love them even more with all of that added peanut butter flavor and those colors make them so fun. 🙂

Oh yum! Love no-bake cookies so, so much! We just had the same problem with running out of cookies… I seriously have no idea how that’s even possible :). Definitely pinning this recipe for when we’re craving cookies again and have none left in the cookie jar!!

LOL! It’s a mystery! Thanks for the pin Kathi!

I love a good no-bake recipe, too! My kids (of course!) really enjoy cookies, but it’s my hubby who is always begging for them more often! 🙂 And a chocolate and peanut butter cookie – he will be in cookie heaven! These look so easy and quick to make, I certainly won’t mind whipping up a batch!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
So, SO easy Gretchen 🙂 Thank you!
Amy @ Amy's Healthy Baking says
Oh my gosh girl, I was SO in the same boat last night!! I had been craving cookies all week, and finally at 10:30 pm, I caved… Yes, I baked cookies that late at night. And of course, I even picked a recipe that needed to chill. What was I thinking?? If only you posted these 24 hours sooner — I would’ve whipped these up in a heartbeat! (And snuck quite a few Reese’s pieces in the process… They’re my favorite!)
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
You must have had one serious craving girl!! LOL! Thanks Amy!
