Happy Sunday everyone. I recently did an inventory of my pantry to see what's in there and what needs
to go. I found an entire canister of oats! I don't even remember buying them so figured the HAD to get used.

I thought briefly about Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies, but didn't really want to turn the oven on. So no bake cookies were my next choice. 

I didn't at all follow their instructions. I think it's weird to put everything in the pan at once and let things melt from there. So everything went in the pan except the oats and toffee bits. Once everything was melted I added the oats, stirred well, THEN added the toffee bits. I wanted the toffee bits to stay harder than the rest. 

Chocolate Toffee No-Bake Cookies

Recipe from Food Network

Makes 12-14 cookies

3 c quick-cooking oats

1 c peanut butter

1/2 c bittersweet chocolate chips

1/2 c semisweet chocolate chips

1/2 c toffee bits, plus more for sprinkling

2 T softened unsalted butter

1/2 tsp kosher salt

Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Combine the oats, peanut butter, bitter and semisweet chocolate chips, toffee bits, butter and salt in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the chocolate chips melt, 3 to 5 minutes.

Scoop heaping tablespoons of batter onto the baking sheet and sprinkle each cookie with extra toffee bits. Freeze for 15 minutes before serving. The cookies can be stored in the refrigerator in an air-tight container for 1 week.
