Description

These no bake bars are the perfect little treat, and they have oats! So they must be healthy! Eat them immediately!

Ingredients

  • ¾ cups Butter
  • ½ cups Packed Brown Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 3 cups Quick Cooking Oats
  • 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • ½ cups Peanut Butter (smooth Or Chunky, Your Choice)

Preparation

1. Melt butter in a large sauce pan over low heat. Stir in brown sugar, vanilla, and oats. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Press half of mixture into the bottom of a buttered 8 x 8 dish.

2. In a microwave safe bowl, microwave the chocolate and peanut butter, stirring every 30 seconds until melted and blended. Pour the chocolate peanut butter mixture over the crust, reserving a couple of spoonfuls to drizzle over the top.

3. Sprinkle the remaining oat mixture over the chocolate and peanut butter, pressing gently to form a crust. Drizzle the remaining chocolate and peanut butter over the top of the bars.

4. Refrigerate for 3 hours before cutting and serving.

I can’t wait to make these! We love no bakes around here but it’s always fun to try a different spin on them! And I think these will hold up better in our hunting packs. Thanks!

Yummy! These are very quick and easy to make. The filling is wonderful. They were a bit crumbly; so next time, I think I may try them with a graham cracker base. I would still use the oatmeal on top.

Yummy! These were so simple to make (my 3-year-old did most of the work) and I love that they didn’t heat up my kitchen. Best of all, they taste awesomely delicious! I doubled the amount of chocolate because I’m a chocolate fiend, but I didn’t change anything else. Thanks for the fun new twist on no bake cookies.

These were a big hit! I didn’t find them too crumbly at all, but I did make sure to boil the butter/sugar mixture into a thin syrup before adding the oats.

These are awesome to eat. They are a little crumbly, but I don’t care. They are too great to care. My husband has requested them three weeks in a row, and both our offices have raved about them. It’s also nice that it’s a quick dessert to whip up when its hot outside.

Oh, these were good. So very, very good. I made them on Friday and the entire pan was gone by Sunday night. Hubby and I did share 4 squares with others but the rest were stuffed into our mouths….and I do mean stuffed! I didn’t care about the chocolate on my fingers because I was enjoying the taste so much. Quick, easy and delicious. They will be made often! Thank you.

These TASTE great – but they are tricky to eat. The oat part is so crumbly and then you end up with chocolate all over your fingers – fine when home alone, but not really a candidate to take to a dinner party.
