Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Pinch of salt

Method
 

  1. Combine the peanut butter, honey, and salt in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until smooth and bubbling at the edges, about 3 minutes.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla. Add the oats and chocolate chips; fold until every oat is coated.
  3. Press the mixture firmly into an 8x8-inch pan lined with parchment paper, packing it down with a spatula or your hands.
  4. Refrigerate at least 1 hour until completely firm. Lift out the block and slice into 12 bars.

Notes

A full hour in the fridge gives the firmest cut. If you are in a rush, pop the pan in the freezer for 30 minutes, then let the bars sit in the fridge for 10 minutes before slicing so the chocolate does not shatter.
