NO-BAKE CHOCOLATE-PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES



No-Bake Chocolate-Peanut Butter Cookies image

My great aunt Pat makes these cookies every year during the holidays. She always has them on hand for drop-in guests and puts them on the dessert buffet at our family Christmas Eve party. I like making multiple batches and storing them in holiday tins for gifts. Be careful, they're addictive! You might want to make an extra batch (or two).
