From my Uncle Dave Johnson, who kindly posted this great recipe which is very similar to the Cocoa No-Bake cookies I grew up enjoying, but a much healthier version (and who doesn’t want a little more healthy in their life?). I have no idea if they are any good, but I’m willing to give them a try. If you like them, you can also go and follow Trish Payne on Facebook, who originally posted the recipe.

[su_heading size=”20″]Oatmeal Chocolate Peanut Butter No-Bake Candy Bars[/su_heading]

It is sorta like a chocolate oatmeal no bake cookie, but extra creamy and special. it almost reminds me of fudge, but with the added texture of the oats and occasional chewy sweetness of the dried cranberries–yumm!…

1 cup natural peanut butter
2/3 cup raw honey
1/2 cup coconut oil (no substitutes, this is what gives its creamy texture and flavor)
2 cups oats (not instant)
1 1/4 cups mini chocolate chips
3/4 cup dried cranberries

In a medium sized saucepan, melt together peanut butter, honey and coconut oil.
Remove from heat and add oats, chocolate chips and dried cranberries. Stir until combined and chocolate chips are melted.
Spread into a 9×13 pan. Refrigerate until hardened, about an hour. Store in refrigerator…
