No Bake, Chocolate Peanut Butter and Oatmeal Cookies

I just remembered how good these are.  I think most everyone probably already has this recipe - it's a classic.  I hadn't had them in years and decided to dust off the recipe and make a batch.  They were SO quick, so easy, and so delicious!  I am such a sucker for the chocolate peanut butter combination.  Really.  Anyway, enjoy this classic and I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving.  I know I have a lot to be thankful for :)

What are you thankful for?
