We won't judge you for eating a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup for breakfast — heck, you have your reasons. That irresistible, comforting chocolate and peanut butter combo is so hard to resist. Now you can enjoy all that candy-bar flavor in a good-for-you way. These chocolate peanut butter overnight oats offer all that delicious sweet taste you crave, but since it's oatmeal, it's totally PC to down this entire jar.
