no bake chocolate peanut butter bars<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These no-bake chocolate peanut butter bars with oatmeal and a thick chocolaty center are divine! They are so decadent, but so easy to make. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We love no bake cookies<\/a> <\/strong>around here, all year long and for any occasion. They are perfect for a summer dessert since you don't have to turn on the oven, but just as yummy to add to your Christmas cookie trays. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bottom and top layers are similar to the buttery oatmeal layers of these raspberry crumble bars<\/a><\/strong>, minus the flour and baking. A thick layer of chocolate and peanut butter rests between. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

ingredients and tools to make no-bake chocolate peanut butter bars with oatmeal <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You only need 6 ingredients! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"oatmeal,<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You'll first heat together salted butter<\/strong> with light brown sugar<\/strong> and pure vanilla extract<\/strong>. Combined with Quick, 1-minute oats,<\/strong> this makes the crust and topping. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Melt together semi-sweet chocolate chips <\/strong>and peanut butter<\/strong> for the center. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We recommend peanut butter that does NOT need stirring because of oil separation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here, I use an 8 x 8-inch square baking pan<\/a><\/strong>. You may use 9-inch, but your treats will be thinner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For best results, instead of greasing the pan, I line the pan with non-stick foil.<\/a><\/strong> That way you can easily lift the bars from the pan to cut. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

how to store your bars <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Store the bars in an air-tight container at room temperature for 3 days, or in the refrigerator for a week. You may also freeze the bars for 3 months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
