Fudgey Peanut Butter Cocoa No Bakes is hands down one of my FAVORITE treats ever!! You don’t have to turn on the oven to make them, and then in the winter, the perfect warm gooey mess to eat. It’s always requested by my teenagers!

Not only are they a great dessert, but I also made these often while nursing because the oatmeal boosts nursing. The peanut butter was an easy way to help boost my calories. Plus, let’s face it after having a baby or a rough day, chocolate and peanut butter together is fantastic!!!
I adapted the recipe from a cookbook I received -> The Great American Cookie Cookbook, as a Christmas gift right before graduating high school. 20 years later, I still use this cookie cookbook, and my girls love it!
No Bakes Fudgey Peanut Butter Cocoa Ingredients:
- Sugar
- Butter
- Milk
- Cocoa– I use regular baking cocoa when I make mine. You could use dark cocoa if that is the taste you prefer.
- Peanut Butter-Use either crunchy or creamy peanut butter, I prefer crunchy, but since my kids have braces, we go for creamy.
- Oats– You can use either old fashion or quick oats I have done both.
- Vanilla Extract
How To Make No Bakes Fudgey Peanut Butter Cocoa:
Combine together milk, sugar, butter, and cocoa on the stovetop in a saucepan. (I add cocoa after the butter has melted)
Bring the combination in the pan to a rolling boil while stirring occasionally.
Remove the pan from heat, and allow to sit for a minute before moving on to the next step.
Next add in the vanilla, oats, and peanut butter and stir until well mixed.
Scoop onto wax paper and allow to cool and harden. I use a cookie scoop to make them uniform.
This is one of my favorite ways to scoop out the batter, plus it helps me keep my hands clean.

Chocolate and peanut butter go very well together…..my little 4 month old seems to break out with a rash whenever I use peanut butter!! Thanks for linking up with us at Home Matters Linky Party. We hope you join us again!!

These look soo good I want to make them. I like no bake recipes but don’t have a fav. I like to experiment and sometimes they don’t come out all that good, but good enough for me to eat!! Who wants to crank up the oven in summer to make cookies not me.
