Growing up, my family loved the richer version of these no-bake cookies. My own children later did, too. Somehow, though, I always felt guilty making and eating them, so with some experimentation, came up with this healthier version. They aren't as sweet or caloric, but take that pinch off the hunger for chocolate lovers. Hope others enjoy them!

- Stir till very smooth. Add peanut butter and stir in completely with spoon.
- Last, add in the rolled oats and stir again well until all oats are coated with chocolate mixture.
