No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Oat Snacks

Chewy snack squares with the perfect dose of crunchy cereal and unsweetened cocoa. Add any nut or nut butter to make these your own!

Look no further for the easiest snack on-the-go recipe to start 2018 off on the right foot. This recipe is so quick and simple with the perfect dose of cocoa to give you that chocolately taste to satisfy any mid-afternoon craving. No-baking is required, and if you’re a super ‘dish-avoider’ (like myself) you can do the entire thing in one sauce pan! Just heat the first 5 ingredients over low and stir continuously until silky smooth. Then add the dry ingredients to the same pan and stir until combined. Voila!
