It’s a tie between peanut butter cups and Twix bars when it comes to stealing my kid’s Halloween candy. (I know you do it!)  I don’t particularly love chocolate by itself (weird, right?), but add in peanut butter or caramel and I’m all over it.   All that to say, I’m loving this peanut butter cup oatmeal recipe.  It would be great for a special occasion…or dessert!

Ingredients

• 2 Cups milk
• 1 ½ Cup old fashioned oats
