Dark Chocolate Oat Clusters

Hey Everybody!

Thanks so much for all your support with my choppin’ off my locks for Pantene Beautiful Lengths.

I am just now getting used to the new do. I love how little time it takes me to actually get it ready. I mean going from 15 minutes to 5 minutes to do your hair is phenomenal!

The show for Eclipse was this weekend! Everything went pretty well. I think the girls and I danced our hearts out and that is what really matters ๐Ÿ™‚

We had some technical difficulties with the individuals who ran the theater, but I think that I our dancing made up for their screw ups.

See how good we look!? Patrick was a sweetheart and came to rehearsal on Saturday night and took a ton of pictures for us.

Out of the 400+ he took we probably got 20 really good ones. You all know how that goes ๐Ÿ˜‰

This recipe I am sharing with you today is something I brought in for the girls during rehearsal so that we could get some energy.

When you have rehearsal for 6+ hours, you need some fuel right?

What could be better fuel than chocolate, peanut butter, and oats? Not much in my opinion…

Now, don’t hate me…but these are SO simple to make. Like ridiculously simple.

I say don’t hate me because I am sharing it with you and you are going to want to make it every week because you can whip them up in less than 5 minutes.

Not lying. 5 minutes people. With the chilling them we are talking 15 minutes.

Yum-a-licious snacks in 15 minutes? Winning!

Adapted from this recipe.

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons organic peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons skim milk
  • 1/4 cup Ghirardelli semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

(I doubled this recipe for the girls, it makes about 8 clusters for the original)

Heat peanut butter, milk, and chocolate chips in a saucepan over low heat 3 minutes or until chips melt. Make sure you keep your eye on this. You don’t want to overheat the chocolate.

Remove from the heat and add in your oats.

With a spoon, small ice cream scoop, or melon baller, drop 8 ball-shaped portions on a wax paperโˆ’lined baking sheet.

Let set in fridge 10 minutes.

Viola!

The clusters are done…simple right??

OK and guess what else?! Only 4 more days until I leave for Disney! Let the countdown commence!
