When you need a sweet treat without turning on the oven, these no bake chocolate peanut butter oat cups come to the rescue. They’re chewy, chocolatey, and made with simple pantry staples you probably already have on hand.

Perfect for busy afternoons, after-school snacks, or an easy dessert, these little cups disappear fast around here and for good reason.

Bringing Snack Friday Back

Every Friday we USED TO do “Snack Friday.” We USED TO be fun. We USED TO have the kids bring all of their friends over after school to devour the delicious treats and snacks.

And then they started to grow up more…and we got busy…and I got distracted…and life got really, really, hard as we faced some really, really serious things…and then this year happened. And I realized that at no point did Friday ever say we couldn’t be happy in the mud.

So, we are bringing back snack Friday and the kids and the food and all of you. The easiest way to merge back into the fun house? Peanut Butter Oat Cups are totally no bake and best of all, we make them with whatever we’ve got.

Sometimes it’s in muffin tins or rolled into balls. Sometimes I use dark chocolate and sea salt and other times white chocolate with a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar. Either way, it’s about gathering people in and this snack is perfect for a quick treat.

Why You’ll Love These Oat Cups

I’ve been making these oat cups since I was a kid so let me tell you all the reasons why you will love them!

• No bake
• Kid-friendly
• No added refined sugar
• Made with pantry staples

If you love cheesecake but don’t love the effort (or the waiting), this one’s for you. This cheesecake yogurt is made with just two ingredients—vanilla Greek yogurt and Biscoff cookies—and somehow transforms overnight into something that tastes shockingly close to real cheesecake.

It’s creamy, lightly sweet, high in protein, and honestly feels like there’s no way it can be so easy to make.

I’ve been seeing this viral yogurt dessert all over Instagram lately, so I had to try it and I was blown away! It really does taste like cheesecake and I didn’t even feel guilty eating it because it’s so high in protein. It’s not everyday that you find a delicious high protein dessert recipe!

Why This Cheesecake Yogurt Works

The cookies soften as they sit in the yogurt, creating that classic cheesecake crust-meets-filling texture. The graham cracker crust always was my favorite part of a cheesecake! The tanginess of Greek yogurt mimics cream cheese, while the Biscoff adds sweetness and depth. You don’t need a blender or a water bath. There’s no baking, and it couldn’t be easier!

Ingredients You’ll Need

• Vanilla Greek Yogurt: Thick, creamy, and high-protein, this is the base that gives the yogurt its cheesecake-like texture and tangy sweetness.
  • PRO TIP: Our favorite yogurts for this recipe are Oikos Pro or Siggi’s. We didn’t love it as much with Chobani or Greek Gods.
• Biscoff Cookies: Softened in the yogurt, these spiced

Chocolate and cherries just belong together, don’t they? I’ve always believed there’s something incredibly romantic about that combo—rich chocolate, bright cherries, a little burst of tart sweetness—and this chocolate cherry cake brings it all together with almost no effort.

My grandma looooved cherry cordials. I remember having them at her house one Christmas and instantly, the moment I bit into them I knew… these are not for me…haha!

Nowadays my taste buds have grown up quite a bit and I can see how much cherries and chocolate belong together!

Because this cake stays unbelievably moist (thank you, cherry pie filling!), it’s a total crowd-pleaser for Valentine’s Day, birthdays, anniversaries, or honestly any night you want something that feels a little special without getting too fussy. Trust me—one bite and you’ll know why this cake keeps disappearing around here.

Why You’ll Love This Easy Chocolate Cherry Cake

If you’re a chocolate lover, this cake is about to become a new favorite. A boxed chocolate cake mix and canned cherry pie filling come together for a rich, ultra-moist chocolate cherry cake that tastes way more homemade than it is—without the extra effort.

• Easy and Impressive: Because the base starts with a cake mix, the batter comes together in minutes. Mix, bake, cool—done. It’s the kind of dessert that feels special without adding stress to your day.
• Extra Chocolatey: The frosting doubles down on the chocolate with both melted chocolate and cocoa powder for deep, fudgy flavor—no dry or overly sweet frosting here.
• Generously Frosted: The recipe makes enough frosting for a thick, dreamy layer (the way I like it!), but you can use less and stash the rest in the fridge for another dessert if you want.
• Pretty Finishing Touches: Add a sprinkle of chocolate chips or a few extra cherries on top for color and texture—it makes each slice look irresistible.

Slice into squares and serve—no one has to know how easy it was.

I struggled to find the perfect name for them whether it should be chocolate chip chocolate, chocolate chocolate chip, or simply double chocolate chip but one thing is certain this cookie recipe is absolutely divine.

I’m actually more of a fruit dessert kind of gal, and Cade is a chocolate lover, but when I make these cookies, it’s me who can’t stop eating them. I may have even grabbed a couple and eaten them alone in the pantry so I didn’t have to share with my kids. Shhhhhh…yes, I am one of those moms!

Ingredients You’ll Need

These double chocolate chip cookies are the best cookies for chocolate cravings. It starts like classic chocolate chip cookies and then we add all the chocolate! They could actually be called triple chocolate chip cookies because we have chocolate coming from three different directions. Yummmmm!

• Unsalted Butter: Adds richness and helps create a soft, tender texture.
• Eggs: Bind the dough and provide structure and moisture.
• Sugar: Sweetens the cookies and helps them spread slightly.
• Brown Sugar: Adds moisture, deeper flavor, and a chewier texture.
• Vanilla Extract: Enhances and rounds out the chocolate flavor.
• All-Purpose Flour: Gives the cookies structure and helps them hold their shape.
• Salt: Balances the sweetness and boosts overall flavor.
• Baking Soda: Helps the cookies rise and stay soft.
• Devil’s Food Pudding: Makes the cookies super soft, rich, and extra chocolatey.
• Cocoa Powder: Deepens the chocolate flavor and darkens the dough.
• Chocolate Chips: Add pops of melty chocolate throughout the cookies. (Use whatever kind you like! Milk chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, semi-sweet chocolate chips, or even white chocolate chips work great!)

What Kind of Cocoa Powder is Best?

For the richest flavor and deepest color, use a high-quality unsweetened cocoa powder. Natural cocoa powder works great in these cookies because it delivers a bold chocolate taste and reacts well with the leavening for a soft, tender texture.

If you want an even more intense, almost fudgy chocolate flavor, you can use Dutch process cocoa powder, but it may make the cookies slightly denser. Both options work, so choose based on the flavor you prefer and what you already have in your pantry.
