Easy No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies
It was late the other night and my husband saw these No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies online and had to have them.
He was so motivated, he made them himself!
That tells you two things. Well, three. One, he really wanted something sweet. Two, these are super easy no bake cookies that anyone can make! And three, he really, really loves chocolate and peanut butter 🙂
I modified the recipe from the one my husband saw on the Food Network because we love the richness of dark chocolate and this recipe seemed the perfect match. Because of the added dark chocolate, I decreased the sugar a little bit as well. They turned out a-m-a-z-i-n-g!
Another more of our favorite dark chocolate treats are these Fudgy Dark Chocolate Brownies. Mmmm, mmm!
They were even better the next day!

Linda at Mixed Kreations says
This look yummy! I do love a good chocolate cookie, the hubby loves anything sweet I do believe. These do look easy to make. I am pinning for the next time we have a sweet craving and nothing in the house I can whip up some of these for the hubby.
Erin says
They are really, really good, Linda! Once they set, they are kinda like a fudge cookie because they don’t have the flour. They were so simple to whip up and my husband was so glad we had all the ingredients on hand 🙂
Abigail says
They look fantastic! My hubby is a huge peanut butter lover and his favorite cookie is a no bake peanut butter. I’ve never thought about adding cocoa. I will have to mix it up and see how he likes it. 🙂
Erin says
My husband couldn’t get over how good they were, so I hope your husband likes them too! They kept so well in the fridge too. I gave some to a friend that can’t eat gluten and he fell in love 🙂
