Put a twist on your overnight oats with these jars inspired by the flavors of a popular candy. The white chocolate shell mimics the exterior of the peanut butter cup for a fun breakfast. Don’t skip the peanuts on top as they add a nice crunch. Feel free to swap in any milk or nut butter you prefer.

Stir chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on Medium, stirring every 20 seconds, until the chocolate is melted, 45 to 60 seconds; stir until the chocolate chips are completely melted and incorporated into the oil.

Divide the oat mixture among 4 (8-ounce) jars, about 1 cup each. Spoon about 2 teaspoons of the melted chocolate over each jar, tilting to cover the entire surface. Refrigerate, uncovered, until the chocolate layer is just set, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with flaky salt and the remaining 1 tablespoon peanuts; cover and refrigerate until the oatmeal has thickened and the chocolate layer is fully set, at least 8 hours or up to 4 days.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
