Step 3: Melt Chocolate and Peanut Butter
- In a medium saucepan, combine chocolate chips, peanut butter, and honey.
- Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth and fully combined.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
Step 4: Mix with Oats
- Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the oats in a large mixing bowl.
- Stir until all oats are coated and the mixture is evenly combined.
Step 5: Transfer to Pan
- Press the mixture into the prepared pan using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
- Make sure it’s evenly packed, so the bars hold together well.
Step 6: Chill
- Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 1–2 hours until the bars are firm.
- For faster results, you can freeze them for 30–45 minutes.
Step 7: Cut and Serve
- Lift the bars out using the parchment paper.
- Cut into squares or rectangles using a sharp knife.
- Optional: drizzle with melted white chocolate or sprinkle with chopped nuts for extra flair.
Tips for Perfect Bars
- Storage: Keep the bars in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
- Vegan Option: Use maple syrup instead of honey and dairy-free chocolate chips.
- Extra Crunch: Add chopped nuts or seeds for texture.
