For many years my husband has had an occasional late night snack made of peanut butter and oatmeal, and sometimes a little Truvia mixed in. Then this last December my blog daughter Sarah from The Smart Kitchen introduced us to a wonderful Peanut Butter that comes in many delicious flavors. You know where we’re going with this. I’ve been working on blending my husbands snack idea with this terrific peanut butter. Then one day, there it was.
I opened Tasty Kitchen and found a recipe for No-bake Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Balls. Gina had figured out a great blend of ingredients plus a few more I had not thought of. Since I can’t leave well enough alone, I put my own spin on it and came up with two versions (so far.)

With flavors like “White Chocolate Wonderful”, “The Bees Knees” and my favorite, “Mighty Maple” this was an easy task.
I combined the Mighty Maple Peanut Butter with butterscotch chips and a little Maple Syrup.
Put all ingredients in a medium sized mixing bowl and blend. That’s it!
Then I pulled out the Dark Chocolate Dreams Peanut Butter. This is probably my favorite – but I am a chocolate lover.
Roll the dough into bite-sized balls and refrigerate.
No baking, no added sugar, no worries!
You must give these a try. I’ve made them several times and everybody loves them. I’m sure there will be more flavors to come, but for now I’ve included two recipes for the cookies pictured.

Happy Monday! Hope you had a great weekend. I still didn’t get it all done but then I never do. I have to go back to work to get some rest 🙂 But I do have a few of these delicious cookies in my lunch box. Yum!
Thanks so much for stopping by.

Hi Tricia,
Curious about nutrition info for PNB oatmeal cookies balls – -can I assume that’s for the whole recipe, meaning either recipe? I’m guessing I would make one or the other and divide the nutritional info by the number of “bite sized balls” I rolled to get to “per each”??
Thank you

Hi Lynne. I’ve updated the recipe and recalculated the nutrition information. I used both recipes in the calculations with each batch making 15 cookie dough balls. Hope that helps! Thanks for letting me know. Enjoy
Terri @ that's some good cookin'
As soon as I looked at the picture I thought, "Don't know what they are, but I'm going to make them." Then, of course, I read the title it sealed the deal! Personally, I'm going for the Maple. So excited!

These look amazing. I think I will have to try these out as a healthy snack for my munchkin. Love peanut butter and oatmeal.

These are really over the top. They sound delicious. I'm new to your blog and have spent sometime browsing through your earlier posts. I'm so glad I did that. I really like the food and recipes you share with your readers and I'll definitely be back. I hope you have a great day. Blessings…Mary

You would share this on my week of Carb Depletion. I will look at it again when I am back on carbs. 🙂
Tricia
Sorry about that! They are carbo-licious!

I used to be all about Dark Chocolate Dreams but lately I love Mighty Maple. I need to get my hands on some more of that flavor… so incredible. And I love these no-bake cookie ideas!
Tricia
I go back and forth between the Mighty Maple and Chocolate but Maple is always so good. Yum!

I just found the White Chocolate and Dark Chocolate Dreams at my local Target (in Iowa) and I can't tell you how excited I was! (Love Peanut Butter). These sound great, but we're not huge fans of coconut in my house. (I don't mind coconut milk, but don't like the shredded stuff-I think it's the texture). Would it be ok to leave that out of the receipe or do I need to sub
Tricia
Since the coconut is unsweetened I think you could leave it out or substitute. I've been thinking about making these with the cinnamon raisin flavored nut butter so I would leave out the coconut in that version. I've also been considering dates as an additive. I'll let you know if I come up with other ideas too! Do you like coconut flour? The texture is the same as almond flour
The Blonde Duck
Could you use wheat flour instead of almond flour?
Tricia
I don't think it would work since they are not baked. Almond flour is just finely ground almonds so any similar ingredient might work. I think the whole wheat flour would not taste as good raw. Just my opinion!
Sarah @ The Smart Kitchen
Oh my goodness, Mama, why have I never thought of combining butterscotch and maple? Seriously…<br /><br />I would like those please. 🙂
Tricia
OK – you know what happens when you ask! Hope to see you soon. These would be great snacks while kayaking too.
