    I am always in the mood for chocolate. Like, always! And lately I've been drawn to all the bad things: kinder bueno bars, twix, snickers, you name it!

    These Peanut Butter Bars are loaded with peanut butter, honey, oatmeal, and mini chocolate chips, and then topped with melted chocolate. If you're looking for a delicious snack that won't make you feeling guilty, look no further!

    How to Make Chocolate Topping for Peanut Butter Bars

    Step 1: In a microwave safe bowl, add the chocolate chips and coconut oil and microwave in 30 second increments until melted, making sure to stir between increments.

    Step 2: Pour melted chocolate on top of peanut butter/oatmeal base and smooth out.

    Step 3: Refrigerate for 1 - 1.5 hours until the chocolate is set.

    Step 4: Once chocolate is set, remove from refrigerator. You may need to let it sit out for 10 minutes before slicing, otherwise the chocolate may crack.

      If you like chocolate and peanut butter, this is a winner! So easy to make. I ran out of peanut butter, so I used a mixture of peanut butter and creamy almond butter. The taste was still fantastic!

      I made these for a quick snack, and they are delicious! I was surprised my kiddoes are them too (my kids do not care for oatmeal)! Definitely a great snack when you're looking for a sweet healthy snack!

      Very very good and sooo easy to make !!! I've been on a diet for almost 2 months now and needed to satisfy my sweet craving and this was perfect and I don't feel too guilty about it yay !! Although it is very hard not to eat the entire dish of it lol I think the only thing I might do next time is add a splash of vanilla? Either way it is a great recipe, Thank you!!!
