No-Bake Peanut Butter/Choc Oatmeal cookies

My mom always used to make these no-bake peanut butter/chocolate cookies at home, and they were one of my favorites. I just switched the recipe up a little bit to make it LB friendly. The recipe is half of the "normal" and makes about 16 cookies, feel free to double it. Use no-sugar added cocoa (Hershey's makes it or look for baking cocoa). Also, I used reduced fat peanut butter and instead of butter I used Brumblen Brown (spelling?) yogurt butter spread (1/2 the cals of butter). All in all, these are pretty tasty and not terrible for you.

Ingredient/Cals/Prot:

24 pckts Truvia/0 /0
1/4 c skim milk/22.5/2
4 tbsp cocoa/80/4
1/4 c PB/760/28
1/4 c yougurt butter/180/0
1 1/2 c oats/450/15
Total/1492.5/49

Per cookie (16): 93 calories and 3 grams of protein

Boil sugar, cocoa, milk, butter and salt for 1 minute. Remove from heat and add peanut butter and oats and vanilla. Use a tablespoon to place dough out on waxed paper. **If you want, you can go ahead and add the PB and the vanilla before you boil it, it doesn't make a lot of difference.

Tip: 24 pckts of Truvia = 1 cup of sugar (For those that don't know, Truvia is a zero-calorie natural sweetner derived from the Stevia plant, I like it better that Splenda.
Tip 2: Instead of cocoa powder, you could try choco protein powder to make these a little more guilt-free.
