Peanut Butter and Chocolate Oat Bites

Keep the oven off for this one!
This is an uber easy no bake cookie/bar/scrumptious bite or whatever you want to call it!

Peanut Butter and Chocolate Oat Bites:

3/4 cup unsalted butter (1 1/2 sticks)
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups rolled oats
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
2/3 cup creamy peanut butter


In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium low heat.

Add in the brown sugar and vanilla.
Mix to combine with butter.

Add in the rolled oats stirring to combine all of that deliciousness.

Cook the oak mixture over medium low heat for 4 minutes.

While the oats are cooking, combine the chocolate chips and peanut butter into a microwavable bowl and melt in microwave. This should take about 1 minute 30 seconds.
Sorry for these crappy iPhone pics...my good camera died mid-oats.

O.M.G.

Lightly grease a square 8x8 pan.

Press 3/4 of the oat mixture into the bottom of the pan.

Pour the melted chocolate/peanut butter over the oats.

Try not to drool into it.

Take the remaining oat mixture and crumble it over the top.

Refrigerate the bars for at least 3 hours.

Cut them into cute little squares.

Don't tell the kid you live with that claims she doesn't like peanut butter that these contain peanut butter and give her one anyway.

Smiles all around!
