Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter 🧈
- 1/2 cup brown sugar 🍚
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🌿
- 3 cups quick-cooking oats 🥣
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips 🍫
- 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter 🥜
- 1/2 teaspoon salt 🧂
Instructions:
- Prepare the Pan:
- Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or aluminum foil, leaving enough overhang on the sides to allow for easy removal.
- Melt the Butter:
- Melt the unsalted butter in a big pot over medium heat.
- Add Sugar and Vanilla:
- Brown sugar and vanilla extract are added, and the mixture is stirred until it is smooth and the sugar has completely dissolved.
- Mix in the Oats:
- The quick-cooking oats should be added to the butter mixture after turning off the heat in the saucepan. Stir the oats until they are completely coated.
- Press into the Pan:
- Transfer the oat mixture to the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan.
- Melt the Chocolate and Peanut Butter:
- Salt, smooth peanut butter, and semi-sweet chocolate chips should all be put in a bowl that can go in the microwave. Stirring in between each interval of 30 seconds in the microwave will help the mixture melt and become smooth.
- Pour the Chocolate Layer:
- Over the pressed oat layer in the baking dish, spread the chocolate and peanut butter mixture. Using a spatula, distribute it evenly.
- Chill and Set:
- Let the bars chill for at least two hours, or until the chocolate layer is set, in the baking dish in the fridge.
- Slice and Serve:
- Use the parchment paper or foil overhang to lift the No-Bake Chocolate Oat Bars out of the pan once they have fully chilled and set.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the bars into the desired dimensions.
- Enjoy Your No-Bake Treat:
- Serve and enjoy the delicious No-Bake Chocolate Oat Bars as a tasty after-meal treat or as a snack.
