No Bake Chocolate Oat Bars

I had a craving for chocolate dessert in the afternoon, so I went to the cupboard and found a bag of chocolate chips.... Where did all the good chocolates go from Christmas?

I knew I had to make something but I didn't want to do cookies, so I made this "No Bake Chocolate Oat Bars". So easy to make, and you don't need to use an oven :)

"No Bake Chocolate Oat Bars"

Ingredients:

• 1/2 C butter
• 1/4 C brown sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1.5C oats
• 1/2 C chocolate chips
• 1/4 C peanut butter

Directions: Grease half of 9 x 9 inch square pan. This recipe only makes half of the pan = enough for 2 people! Double the recipe if you want to fill the 9 x 9 inch pan!

1. Melt butter in saucepan and stir in brown sugar and vanilla. Add oats and cook over low heat for a few minutes. Press half of the mixture into the greased pan.
2. Melt chocolate chips and peanut butter in a saucepan until smooth. Pour it over the oats in the pan and spread evenly.
3. Crumble the remaining oat mixture over the chocolate layer and press gently. 
4. Cover and put in the fridge for 1-2 hours. Bring to room temperature before cutting.
