These were so easy AND very tasty. They are calorie free you know. The oats cancel out all the bad stuff.It’s fudge-y because of the chocolate-PB part and chewy because of the oatmeal.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter (1 stick; or margarine, Earth Balance)
- 2 cups white sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 6 tablespoons cocoa powder (I used TJ’s)
- 1/2 cup milk (cow, vegan, soy, nut, etc. You could probably use water, too, and if so, I’d use about 2/3 c water)
- 1/2 heaping cup peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3.5 cups oats (I used whole rolled Old-Fashioned Quaker Oats)
- 1/4 cip chocolate chips, 1/4 cup peanut butter chips (or butterscotch/white chocolate chips, toffee bits, chopped candy bits, Reese’s Pieces, etc.), optional
