This is a nostalgic treat that if you grew up in the 80’s and 90’s you will remember. I remember always getting this with my school lunch. It was one of my favorite treats! It was especially exciting if my mom made these at home. I loved the combination of oatmeal cookie with peanut butter and chocolate on top. I thought it was the perfect combination. I still love them just as much, but haven’t had them in years! I decided to make them for my kids so that they could experience the goodness for themselves. They loved them and were so jealous that used to get them in my school lunches. Those were in the days when the lunch ladies actually made our lunch from scratch and real ingredients. Lunch was so much better when I was a kid than what my kids get nowadays. Anyway, this recipe is delicious and so simple to make. If you want a nostalgic treat that your kids will love, then make this and take a trip down memory lane. I hope your family loves these as much as mine!
