In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

In the bowl of any electric mixer, beat together the butter and peanut butter until smooth. Add the sugars and beat until blended. Add the vanilla and eggs and mix until light and fluffy.

Gradually add the flour mixture until just combined. Mix in oats until well combined. Stir in chocolate chips and mini chocolate candies.
