Old-School No Bake Cookie Bars

Ingredients

  • 1 c. 2 sticks unsalted butter
  • 2/3 c. cocoa powder
  • 3 c. sugar
  • 3/4 c. low-fat buttermilk
  • 1/2 t. salt
  • 6 c. quick-cooking oats
  • 1 c. creamy peanut butter

Instructions

  • Spray a half-sized sheet pan (18"x13") with cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a very large bowl, add the oats and the peanut butter. No need to stir. Set aside.
  • In a large sauce pan over medium-high heat, combine the butter, cocoa powder, sugar, buttermilk and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring often. Boil for 1 and a half minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Remove the butter and chocolate mixture from the heat and pour over the oats and peanut butter. Stir until completely combined.
  • Spread the no bakes evenly into the prepared sheet pan. Allow to cool completely. Slice and serve. Wrap the bars individually in plastic wrap and keep in an air-tight container for several days.
