No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies
Hey y'all! I hope everybody is having a great week so far! It has been crappy and depressing weather here and I am wishing it will go away and that the sun will come out and grace us with some light. But besides that I am staying busy with school and continuing to try to come up with new and awesome content to share with all of you! One of my favorite things to share with all of you is recipes because I love to cook and love to try new recipes.
This is a new recipe that I thought I would give a try. It is actually a Weight Watchers recipe and is so, so easy to put together and are even more delicious to eat! I'm not lying when I say that it took me maybe 20 minutes to make these cookies and you don't even have to bake them. They are made of simple ingredients that are generally laying around my house except for the unsweetened cocoa powder and even if you don't have the ingredients, the substitutes are definitely lying around. I hope you guys enjoy these!
