No-bake peanut butter caramel cookies

I was itching to make some cookies yesterday afternoon, but after a weekend of baking I was out of flour and cocoa, and nearly out of sugar too. 

I went to look in my baking pantry, hoping for some inspiration on something I could make with what I had on hand and it hit me -- could I make a different kind of no bake cookie? The wheels were set on motion and I got to work. 

My first batch was interrupted by one little toddler who bit the other little toddler. They tasted delicious, but a distraction during the boiling process made for some rock hard cookies, so Mikey and I set to work during Max's rest time today for round two. 

Success! These are delicious. Chewy, sweet, a little bit salty, just the right balance of caramel and peanut butter. Did I mention they were a snap to make?
