Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (180g) rolled oats (old-fashioned preferred)
  • 1 cup (250g) natural creamy peanut butter (unsweetened or lightly salted; crunchy optional)
  • 1/2 cup (50g) unsweetened cocoa powder (Dutch-processed recommended)
  • 1/2 cup (170g) honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 12 mini peanut butter cups (one per cookie, e.g., mini Reese’s)
  • 4 tablespoons (56g) unsalted butter, softened
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt; stir gently to blend.
  3. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt peanut butter, butter, and honey or maple syrup together, stirring constantly until smooth (about 5 minutes).
  4. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the melted mixture over the oat-cocoa mix and fold together until oats are fully coated and batter is glossy and thick. If too runny, heat gently for another minute while stirring.
  6. Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the parchment paper.
  7. Quickly press a mini peanut butter cup onto the top center of each mound to form the witch hat shape.
  8. Place the tray in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture. Melt wet ingredients slowly on low heat to avoid scorching. Work quickly when shaping cookies before mixture firms up. Chill cookies for at least 30 minutes to set properly. Store in airtight container in fridge for up to a week or freeze for up to a month. For gluten-free, use certified gluten-free oats. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and use dairy-free peanut butter cups.
