Peanut Butter No-Bake Bar

For the past while here I have been craving Reese Peanut Butter Cups, with the peanut butter scare they were cheap. And I was excited about that but it was still getting expensive. But I remember when I was younger my aunt AnneGenne made these awesome peanut butter no bake cookies, but I couldn't find the recipe so I went online looking for the recipe. Well I found a recipe but I was being lazy and just dump them in a pan and cut them in bars. They are good either way. A pan of cookies doesn't stay around to long at our house.

This is what it looks like. Here is the Yummy recipe if you would like to make some for you and your family.

2 cups sugar
1/4 cup margarine
1/2 cup milk
1 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups rolled oats

1. In a large sauce pan mix the sugar, margarine, and milk. Bring to a full boil over medium heat.

2. Remove from the heat and stir in vanilla and peanut butter. Stir in until peanut butter is melted. Then add and stir the oats.

3. Working quickly, drop by spoonfuls onto waxed paper. This is if you are making cookies. When I am doing the bars I line a pan with wax paper and then pour the mixture into the pan. Let it cool, cut and then enjoy .
We tried something new tonight we mixed in some chocolate chips in when it was still warm and then did the same thing by pouring it in the pan for bars. This is also yummy!

This is just to show you how I had the two in the same pan. As kyle said I didn't want to cross contaminate the cookies. Just kidding.

HI Angie I love that you have a blog I can look at your cute kids with! Those no bake cookies are my all time favorite as well, the recipe I have calls for 3T cocoa. I try not to make them that often because I eat them all!
