No Bake Chocolate Oat Bars

ByElina

I baked about 100 dozen cookies for the holidays and these were everyone’s favorite!! These bars can be frozen, just thaw 10 minutes before serving.

 

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups quick cooking oats
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter

Directions

  1. Grease a 9×9 inch square pan.
  2. Melt butter in large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar and vanilla. Mix in the oats. Cook over low heat 2 to 3 minutes, or until ingredients are well blended. Press half of mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Reserve the other half for topping.
  3. Meanwhile, melt chocolate chips and peanut butter in a small heavy saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently until smooth. Pour the chocolate mixture over the crust in the pan, and spread evenly with a knife or the back of a spoon.
  4. Crumble the remaining oat mixture over the chocolate layer, pressing in gently. Cover, and refrigerate 2 to 3 hours or overnight. Bring to room temperature before cutting into bars.

Just a little tidbit of info about me- I look for recipes everywhere. Yep. Newspapers, fiction novels, and in this case, I tore this recipe off the back of a butter package! I’ll be honest, I make a lot of duds. But every once in a while I come across a gem of a recipe that just makes me absolutely giddy. This is one of those times. 4 ingredients, people. F-O-U-R. And you probably already have everything in your pantry. The crust ends up tasting like it has toffee in it and the chocolate caramel layer is just perfect. Scroll down to watch a video I created that shows just how simple these tasty little bars come together.
