No-bake peanut clusters are great for when you are short on time but still need something to serve company.I love these cookies and make them all the time.

Guests will be hard-pressed trying to figure out just what goes into these cookies. They are soft and oh-so-good!

If you need cookies in a hurry or just have a craving for something sweet but don't feel like firing up your oven, you can make peanut clusters on top of your stove in minutes.

Whip these no-bake cookies in 5-10 minutes. You'll need oats, peanut butter and unsalted, roasted peanuts to get started.
