Ingredients
  

Oat Layer:
  • - 1 cup salted butter
  • - ½ cup light brown sugar packed
  • - ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • - 3 cups quick-cooking oats
Chocolate Peanut Butter Layer:
  • - 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • - 1 cup creamy peanut butter

Equipment

  • - Square baking dish
  • - Saucepan
  • - Spatula

Method
 

  1. Line an 8×8" square baking dish with parchment paper, and set it aside.
Make the Chocolate Peanut Butter Layer:
  1. - Melt the chocolate and peanut butter together, either in a microwave-safe dish or on the stovetop over low heat.
Make the Oatmeal Layer:
  1. - In a 5-quart saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
  2. - Stir in the brown sugar and sea salt until dissolved.
  3. - Add the vanilla extract and stir until combined.
  4. - Reduce the heat to low and add the oats. Cook on low for about 2 minutes, or until all the ingredients are well combined.
Assemble:
  1. - Press about half of the oatmeal mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish using a greased spatula. Reserve the other half to sprinkle on top.
  2. - Pour the chocolate peanut butter mixture gently and slowly over the bottom layer, reserving about 2-3 tablespoons to drizzle on top.
  3. - Very gently crumble the remaining oat mixture over the chocolate peanut butter layer and press it into place, ensuring the entire top is covered.
  4. - Drizzle the top with the remaining chocolate peanut butter mixture.
  5. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight, until the chocolate is set.
  6. Let the bars come to room temperature before cutting them into squares.
  7. Enjoy your delicious Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Bars!
