Chocolate PB No-Bake Nests
INGREDIENTS
- 2/3 cup PBfit Protein Peanut Butter Spread
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup milk of choice
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 Tbsp pure vanilla extract
- 3 cups quick oats or old fashioned oats
- 1/8 tsp salt
- Chocolate Candy Eggs for decoration
DIRECTIONS
- 1
Combine the butter, sugar, milk, and cocoa powder together in a medium saucepan (about 3 quarts) over medium heat. Whisk constantly until the butter melts. Whisking occasionally, bring to a boil. Once boiling, stop whisking and allow to boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat, then immediately stir in the PBfit Protein Peanut Butter Spread and vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until completely combined. Stir in the oats.
- 2
Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes. This allows the oats to soak up some moisture.

During the 5 minutes, line the baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. And make sure there is enough room in your refrigerator for the baking sheets.

Using a cookie scoop, scoop dough onto the lined baking sheets. Gently press an indentation into the center of the cookies using the back of a measuring spoon. Place your favorite chocolate easter candies in the middle.
