No Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Bars

The family and friends like these so much we have started adding these to our Christmas cookie tray. We cut them a bit smaller and add some Christmas sprinkles on top.

You can actually make these for any holiday just change the sprinkle colors. Pastels for Easter, orange for Halloween. You get what I’m saying.

No Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Bars

How do you make no bake chocolate oatmeal bars?

  • Line an 8×8″ baking dish with parchment paper, set aside
  • Add the butter, brown sugar, and vanilla extract to a saucepan and heat over medium-low heat, stirring until the butter is completely melted.
  • Add oats, cinnamon, and salt. Cook and stir for about 5 minutes
  • Press about half of the oat mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  • Melt chocolate chips and peanut butter in a microwave safe bowl in the microwave in 30 second increments, until the mixture is completely melted.

  • Transfer 1/4 cup to 1/3 cup of the mixture to a piping bag (or ziplock bag with a hole cut in the corner) and pour the remaining chocolate mixture over the oat crust in the baking dish.
  • Top with the remaining oat mixture, packing down once again.  Drizzle the reserved chocolate mixture over the top and pop it in the fridge for 4 hours before cutting it into squares and serving.

These bars are similar to no bake cookies but bars and so much easier.

You have an oatmeal layer that is the topped with a fudgy peanut butter chocolate layer and then another oatmeal layer. You can’t get much easier than that!

These bars are perfect for summer parties and BBQ’s. You don’t have to turn your oven on and heat up your house!

The crunchy granola and the fudgy filling will surely make this a big hit. This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled for a party.

You can make dozens of bars ahead of time and freeze these bars, they freeze up so well. Just set them out on the counter and bring them back to room temp before serving.
