I recently tried this recipe from allrecipes.com, and it is definitely a winner! With temps rising to 108 degrees lately, the no-bake aspect was definitely appealing. But many times no-bake means no-taste, so I was a little skeptical. Well, this recipe fulfilled its promise of yumminess, and look how easy! You can whip them up in 10 minutes. Enjoy!
No Bake Chocolate Oat Bars
1 cup butter
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
3 cups quick oats
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter
Grease a 9x9" square pan.
In a medium saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Stir in brown sugar and vanilla then mix in oats. Cook over low heat 2-3 minute or until ingredients are blended. Press half the mixutre into the bottom of the pan.
Meanwhile, melt chocolate chips and peanut butter in the microwave. Heat 30 seconds, stir, then another 20 seconds or so. Pour the mixture over the crust in the pan and spread evenly with an offset spatula.
Sprinkle remaining oat mixture over the chocolate and press in lightly. Cover and refrigerate for 2-3 hours or overnight. Bring to room temp before cutting into bars.
Happy "baking" !!
And the best part is that if I use certified gluten free oats, this is a GF recipe! Sounds super easy and delish!
