Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 cups Quick oats
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or wax paper, and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, milk, and cocoa powder.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir continuously until the butter is melted and the mixture comes to a full boil.
Once boiling, let the mixture boil for exactly 1 minute, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the peanut butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until fully combined and smooth.
Add the quick oats to the mixture and stir until the oats are completely coated and evenly distributed.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, forming mounds.
Allow the drops to cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or place them in the refrigerator for faster setting.
Once firm, store the chocolate peanut butter drops in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
