Sweet Saturday

Do you ever have a sweet craving but don’t want to make a whole batch of cookies or brownies? That’s how I feel today, need some chocolate but certainly don’t need to be tempted by a whole batch of goodness!

I remember seeing this recipe in my Health magazine for Dark Chocolate and Oat Clusters which has only four ingredients and  makes 4 servings. Bingo!!

Dark Chocolate and Oat Clusters

  • 2 tbl. peanut butter
  • 2 tbl. low fat milk
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

Heat the peanut butter, milk and chocolate chips over low heat until the chocolate is melted.  Add the oats and drop 8 round tablespoon full portions onto wax paper. Place in the fridge for 10 minutes to set.

Makes 4 servings

Easy enough, right?! Nothing like a little indulgence on a Saturday afternoon. This is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth, I love the chewiness they have and what’s not to like about chocolate and peanut butter!

Next time I think I will try adding a little  nutella or some dried cherries!

Hope your weekend is going well! Smile

    Love this idea!! Usually when I crave something sweet and don't want to make a huge batch of cookies I grab a handful of chocolate chips. This looks much more satisfying! Thanks for sharing :)

    I love recipes for single people. And I love recipes even more than have few-simple ingredients. I'll have to whip up a batch of these this weekend.

    Oooh, these look delicious! I love recipes that call for a few ingredients, likely to be on hand already. Especially if chocolate and peanut butter are involved. :) Hope you have a great week!

    This is such a great idea to just make a small serving. I usually make full batches of cookies, scoop the batter into balls, and freeze them. Then I pull out as many dough balls as I want and bake them off whenever I have a cookie craving.

    I have that feeling all the time...want one not a dozen or more hanging out in the kitchen staring me down every time I walk by. Do you think this recipe would work with raw almond butter? I would think so....so I am going to try! Thanks for sharing this.
