My Obsession Lately


These simple but delicious peanut butter chocolate oatmeal no bakes have been my obsession lately. I was reminded of them by my sister who made them once when we were over for dinner. Since then I decided they're the fasted way to satisfy my continuous sweet tooth :) I'll have to post the recipe later, can't find it right now sorry!
