How to Make No-Bake Chocolate Oat Delights:
Ingredients:
1 pound butter
1/2 cup tightly packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cup quick-cook oats
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 pound creamy peanut butter
How to Make No-Bake Chocolate Oat Delights:
Grease a 9×9-inch baking pan lightly.
Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Infuse it with brown sugar, vanilla extract, and oats. Allow it to boil for 2-3 minutes on low heat, making sure everything is properly incorporated. Divide the oat mixture in half and press half into the bottom of the pan, leaving the other half for the topping.
Combine chocolate chips and peanut butter in a separate, smaller saucepan. Keep the mixture on a low heat, stirring regularly, until it melds into a smooth concoction. Using a spatula or the back of a spoon, evenly spread this chocolatey spread over the oat foundation.
Sprinkle the reserved oat mixture over the chocolate and gently push it in. Refrigerate the pan for at least 2-3 hours, or overnight for optimal results. Allow it to come to room temperature before cutting into delicious bars.
