Description

These Chocolate Nut Chews are the ultimate no-bake treat for satisfying a sweet tooth. Combining rich cocoa with creamy peanut butter, they offer a perfect balance of chocolatey depth and nutty crunch. The addition of quick rolled oats gives each bite a delightful, soft-chewy texture that holds together without being too dense. They are incredibly easy to make, requiring no oven and just a few simple pantry staples. Perfect for packing in lunchboxes, serving as a quick snack, or enjoying with a cup of coffee, these chews are a reliable crowd-pleaser that feels both indulgent and comforting.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a heavy 2-quart saucepan, combine the sugar, cocoa, evaporated milk, and butter.
  2. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly until the mixture comes to a full boil and bubbles appear all over the surface.
  3. Continue boiling and stirring for exactly 2 minutes to reach the soft-ball stage.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat immediately.
  5. Stir in the peanut butter until it is completely melted and smooth.
  6. Mix in the vanilla extract, quick rolled oats, and salted peanuts until evenly distributed.
  7. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper or parchment paper.
  8. Drop the mixture by rounded teaspoons onto the prepared paper, spacing them slightly apart.
  9. Allow the chews to stand at room temperature until they have set and firmed up, about 30 minutes.
