Now comes the fun part! Use your hands to roll the mixture into bite-sized balls or to shape them into small cookies. Be creative and have fun! Place each shaped cookie on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper.
Make the frosting:
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the crushed milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and vegetable oil. Microwave the mixture in short intervals of 30 seconds, stirring each time. Continue heating until all of the chocolate is melted and smooth, creating a nice and shiny frosting.
Frost the cookies:
One at a time, dip each cookie into the melted chocolate frosting to coat it completely. Alternatively, you can pour the frosting over the cookies for a more rustic look. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the frosted cookie back onto the baking sheet.
Put the cookies:
Place the baking sheet with the frosted cookies in the refrigerator and chill them for at least 30 minutes. This allows the chocolate frosting to fully harden and solidify.
Serve and enjoy:
Once the cooling time has passed, take your delicious no-bake peanut butter chocolate cookies out of the fridge and enjoy! They are perfect for a quick snack, as after-school treats or even to share with friends and family.

Cooking
Tips Customize the flavor: Experiment with different types of crushed cookies, such as graham crackers or digestive cookies, to change the basic flavor of your cookies.
Change up the dried fruit: You can replace chopped peanuts with other dried fruits like chopped almonds, walnuts, or even pretzels for a unique twist. Double boiler option: If you prefer not to use the microwave for the glaze, melt the chocolate and oil together in a double boiler on the stovetop for a smoother texture.
