Ingredients

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 stick butter
⅓ cup milk
¾ cup sugar
1 cup peanut butter
2 cups oats
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Pour chocolate chips, butter, milk, and sugar in a large saucepan. Heat on medium heat until combined, stirring constantly. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat.
Stir in peanut butter, oats, and vanilla. Mix well.
Pour mixture into a parchment lined 8x8 square glass dish, or use a spoon to make drop cookies. Let set for 30 minutes until firm. (You can chill in fridge to set it up more quickly.) Enjoy!

Notes

Make sure to slowly heat the chocolate chip mixture. If they are cooked too quickly, they will burn and harden the chocolate.
Too much oatmeal can cause these to not set up as easily, if making them into drop cookies.
Chilling them in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes will help them set up faster, and they are tasty when cool.
These can also be made into drop cookies. Simply line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and drop by spoonfuls. Let them set up per directions above.
