No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies

No bake cookies seem to be quite popular, I suppose it's because of how fast you can whip them up.    Personally I do prefer a baked cookie, but the mister really liked these and said they reminded him of a cookie his mom used to make when he was a wee little one. So nostalgia wins. Enjoy.
