No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies

Ingredients

Main Ingredients:
500 g cookies, crushed (your favorite type!)
120 g peanuts, chopped
120 g sugar
60 g cocoa powder
250 ml milk
150 g butter
For the Glaze:
80 g milk chocolate, chopped
80 g dark chocolate, chopped
20 ml vegetable oil

Directions

Make the Cookie Mixture:
In a large mixing bowl, toss together the crushed cookies and chopped peanuts. They’ll form the base of these delicious cookies.

Prepare Cocoa Mixture:
In a separate saucepan, combine the sugar, cocoa powder, milk, and butter. Heat this mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly. Keep whisking until everything is smooth and the sugar dissolves completely. This creates the rich and chocolatey cookie binder.

Combine Ingredients:
Pour the hot cocoa mixture over the crushed cookies and peanuts in the mixing bowl. Using a spoon or spatula, mix everything well until the cookie mixture is evenly combined and there are no dry pockets.

Shape the Cookies:
Now comes the fun part! Use your hands to roll the mixture into bite-sized balls or form them into small cookie shapes. Get creative and have fun with it! Place each shaped cookie onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Make the Glaze:
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and vegetable oil. Microwave the mixture in short 30-second intervals, stirring in between each time. Keep heating until all the chocolate is melted and smooth, creating a beautiful and glossy glaze.

Glaze the Cookies:
One by one, dip each cookie into the melted chocolate glaze to fully coat it. Alternatively, you can drizzle the glaze over the cookies for a more rustic look. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing the glazed cookie back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.

Set the Cookies:
Pop the baking sheet with your glazed cookies into the refrigerator and chill them for at least 30 minutes. This allows the chocolate glaze to harden and set completely.

Serve and Enjoy:
Once the chilling time is up, take your delicious no-bake chocolate peanut butter cookies out of the fridge and enjoy them! They’re perfect for a quick snack attack, after-school treats, or even sharing with friends and family.
