Chocolate Peanut Butter No-Bake Cookies

It was only a matter of time until you choclatized these!! I like that words- cholatized, I think it’s fitting for your blog 🙂 You should patten it!

For peanut butter, do you have to use the commercial type or would it be possible to use the all natural, organic, hippy dippy stuff?

I really want to make these!!!!!!!!! And store them in my belly. 🙂

Chocolate and peanut butter… 🙂 What a wonderful start to the day! I always wanted a horse growing up (what little girl doesn’t?) and my best friend had a newt that I thought was pretty cool. I loved animals so I think I probably wanted everything! My brother’s friends dad had a kangaroo for a while- I think that would be fun!

Nothing beats peanut butter and chocolate… two of the best flavors paired together= amazingness! I had lots of random pets (bunnies, hermit crabs, guinea pigs, rats, mice, fish, ferrets, etc.) growing up because my sisters and I were all pet obsessed. I really did want a tiger though… like Jasmine from Aladdin! Lol.

all i can say is yes please. i really regret having just finished my last peanuts, now i need to wait for tomorrow at least, before i can make these.i don’t think i’ll make it.

Those look so good. If I don’t get a food processor soon I think I might die from lack of delicious treats.

Haha yes the beginning of this post did make me smile and chuckle. 🙂 Great intro and eventual segue into the recipe!

Chocolate and PB, as we all know, has always been a winning combo, so of course these have got to be awesome… just like the original version. Only, you know, ten times as awesome because they’re chocolatey.

Growing up, I wanted exotic pets… and I got them! We did have a family dog, and I had typical pets once like two budgies and four turtles. Then my family went on to get more diverse pets… An iguana for my mom, a monitor lizard that we let wander around our enclosed property in Singapore, then I had a chameleon when we moved to the US, and my brother had a bearded dragon. (<– Hah! If you needed a dragon, I wish I had known back then. ;P Of course, bearded dragons are usually way smaller than monitor lizards… which are obviously smaller than Donkey's wifey dragon…)

Mmm, these sure look delicious! I’m lucky enough to live about 10 minutes away from a wholesale nut company, so I could make these with any kind of nut if I wanted to! We all know peanut butter is the best, though. 😉 Do you think these would work with golden raisins? I much prefer the taste of those.

I don’t remember wanting any exotic pets, but I did want a kitten for the longest time. Now I’m lucky enough to date someone whose family fosters cats, so I’ve had a lot of chances to play with kittens. I have gotten ringworm though…yuck! At least it’s nothing serious.

love this! I am going to make them for my madre. Either the original ones with carob chips or these with carob powder…. or both versions 🙂 My mom doesn’t like chocolate, I know right… crazy, but she loves pb cookies so I’ll still keep her 😉

these look so good! and exotic pets..yes..i have wanted many. at one point, we wanted an ostrich. actually, my brother wanted one and since i was 7 yrs old, he convinced me to want one too. shockingly, we never got one 😉

Wow, I may skip trying the original ones and go straight for making the chocolate ones.

For some reason as i child I always wanted a horse, not really exotic, but not very realistic since i live in the city. I love that these are no bake, those are my two favorite words!!!

Ugh Katie you always post these fantastic recipes right when I run out of the stuff I need to make them! (Stupid unsalted peanuts)

I can’t believe you didn’t chocolatize these sooner!

One thing I love about your recipes is that I almost always have the ingredients on hand!

I love the chocolate-peanut butter combination! I have always wanted a Dolphin – Flipper.

These look AMAZING!! When I made your regualar recipe for the pb cookies I rolled them in small balls and then rolled the balls in cacao nibs and froze them. They were so amazing straight out of the freezer!

yum Katie, I will be making these. Never met a cookie I did not like!

🙂

Holy deliciousness!! I absolutely cannot wait to make these!!!

Seriously those just look…foodgasmic. Chocolate. Peanut butter. That quickly?!

I’m a big fan of instant gratification 😉

XOXO

YUM times a million!!!

Oh I need these in my belly nowwww

Ha ha! First of all- these cookies look amazing. I can’t wait to try them. Your recipes NEVER disappoint!!! I always wanted a hairless cat. And guess what- I got one about 7 years go. Pretty funny. Even funnier that my husband hates him. 🙂 When I was really young I wanted a skunk. I always thought it would be cool to walk around with a skunk on a leash. ha ha!

I did the original recipe splitt it in half and added cocoa in one half! so now i have both flavours and let me tell you I LIKE IT! they are both yummie so yummie that when i do this next time (yes there will be a next time, many next times) I make both flavours because they are to good to just make one! 😉

I tried this recipe last night and was a bit freaked out at first, because the dough came out super oily… I had to literally squeeze oil out of it as I shaped it into cookies! Weird.

Nothing a little stay on paper towels couldn’t fix, though. And of course… the cookies tasted GREAT. <3

I’ve always thought it would be awesome to have a seahorse as a pet. Random, no? But they are so awesome! You can actually get them for salt water aquariums, but they are uber expensive, and hard to keep alive. Perhaps when I’m rich and famous one day I can have one. Or I’ll just stick to cats.

Is it just me, or is EVERYTHING you post something that MUST be made immediately? 🙂

What do the raisins do?

Just made these up. Very yummy, had to add a few more raisins as mix was a little claggy (probably to do with my pb). Nice and easy to make, especially good for those of us with little energy.

So yummy. Like trail mix in soft cookie form! I made a batch and the dough came out a little crumbly, im guessing because I used the Smuckers natural pb (the kind you have to stir) so they didn’t hold the form of a cookie. I made them into little balls and put them in mini cupcake Linnets and will see if they firm up in the fridge.

These are like my “hobo” cookies: I make them when I want something delicious but don’t have that many ingredients on hand ;P quick, easy, beautiful, and DELICIOUS. Thank you for sharing your genius with us!!

I would just like to tell you again that you’re an absolute lifesaving genius. These bars are AMAZING and I eat them at least 2-3x a week now. I even got my mom hooked on them! I like to use 1 T shredded almonds and 1-2 T coconut with these instead of the peanuts (because we never have them in our house). So unbelievably good. I’m actually eating one right now. Though I usually just use my short cup and eat it straight out of there (no time for bar making! there is deliciousness afoot!) I love that they’re so portable and quick to make; perfect when I have to run out the door for class. You’re amazing, Katie. Just thought I’d let you know that, again. =)

These are soooooo yummy! I only have almond butter so I used that, raisins, cocoa, and whole almonds. I sprinkled some mini semi-sweet chips in at the end, too. I didn’t put any salt because I’m very sensitive to salty things. I used unsalted almond butter and plain almonds. These are so incredible. I can’t believe there’s no sugar, oil, milk, or flour! They taste so rich!

Hi Katie,

How many carbs per serving? Thanks! 🙂

Hey Katie, I’m not a big fan of rasisins so I was wondering what else, and how much, I might use to sweeten these. By the way, I love everything I have tried from your site so far. I am so excited that I was told about it. 🙂

Hi Katie!
I’m sorry if I missed this but do you have the nutritional info? Love your blog, on it all the time!!
You Rock Girl!! 🙂

Those cookies look delicious! I’ll have to try them someday!

I can say I’ve gone through an exotic animal stage. I’ve had times where I’ve wanted a monkey, a tiger, a parrot, a tadpole, an opossum, a lizard, and a ferret. I’ve even gone as far as to have a pet cockroach (Harry the Cockroach) when I was little.

How many calories are they?

Wasn’t impressed by the first bite, but by the second I was hooked! I am amazed by the ability of these to satisfy my chocolate cravings, and all without any processed sugar. Yahoo raisins!

Ok these are completely and utterly amazing !!!! Would it be so awful if I ate the whole tray without sharing ? I did make these into a bar and yes I can eat the whole tray ! Also I never even thought to use raising instead of dates . What a great idea .=)

Hi Katie! I am trying to find a low sugar alternative to dayes and other dried fruits that I see in recipes like this. I know the dates are for binding and sweetness. I don’t mind not having much sweetness as I am used to low sugar eating but what can I sub for the binding factor? Or maybe use dates and something else half & half?

I sub 2 T peanut butter (210 calories) plus 2 T PB2 powder (just 45 calories) for the original 1/4 C peanut butter to lower the count just a bit. I roll these into 1/2 Tbsp balls and add 3 chocolate chips per (makes 13 that way). They are SO good! Not sweet enough for my teens, but I think that’s great! More for me (;

Thanks from D in Tennessee

Mmmm, just made these! I used the Dark Chocolate Wonderful pb by PB & Company…lol. Made them even chocolatey-er! I probably should’ve left out some cocoa powder but oh well!

I also didn’t have peanuts handy so I subbed 2 tbsp of raw pumpkin seeds instead. Also used my own raisins I’d made out of dehydrating grapes in the dehydrator.

Turned out great! It’s almost gone!

I will def try these this holiday season! Thanks for the switch-up of cocoa! My family really digs most things chocolate, so these will be a hit (and so easy!).
And I had an exotic pet – well, actually, my sister got a hedgehog and her circumstances changed, so I had a hedgehog. She was hand-raised and super adorable, even when she was super cranky. They don’t live very long, so that can be hard, and I haven’t gotten another one – maybe when we have more room and Baby Girl is a bit older!

Hi Katie! Would you ever consider making a section for easy lunchbox treats? Nut-free because many schools don’t allow nuts due to allergies. Thanks so much!
