Sherry's Oatmeal Chocopeanut Chippers

Submitted by Sherrybeth

"This is a recipe I recently came up with when DD #1wanted chocolate chip cookies. She's having "cravings" with her pregnancy and it would only do for her to have something with chocolate, peanut butter and oatmeal. I've used Splenda brown sugar blend and Reese's peanut butter cup morsels to make something she would like and would be better for her."
