Easy Chocolate Oatmeal Bars

What do you need:

• 3 cups quick-cooking oats

• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

• 1 cup of butter

• 1/2 cup peanut butter

• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, then add the brown sugar and vanilla. Add quick cooking oats, reduce heat to low, and cook for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and press half of the cooked oats into a greased 9×9-inch skillet. Reserve the remaining oats to cover.

In the same saucepan, add the chocolate chips and peanut butter and melt over low heat, stirring frequently. Stir until the mixture is smooth, then pour over the rolled oats in the pan. Using the back of the spoon, distribute the mixture evenly.

Cover the chocolate layer with the reserved oats, pressing gently. Cover and refrigerate overnight. When ready, place at room temperature for a few minutes before cutting into bars.

Cocoa Peanut Butter Cookies

What do you need:

• 3 cups quick-cooking oats

• 2 cups of white sugar

• 2/3 cup peanut butter

• 1/2 cup butter

• 1/2 cup of milk

• 1/2 cup chopped peanuts (optional)

• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, butter, milk, and cocoa powder. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes.

When done, add the peanut butter. Stir until the mixture is well blended. Add the quick cooking oats, peanuts (if using), and vanilla extract. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.

Place a piece of aluminum foil or wax paper on a cookie sheet and drop teaspoons of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Cool completely in the refrigerator. Store leftovers in a cool, dry place.
