How to Make Chocolate Oat Bars

This is one of the easiest no bake recipes to make!  They come together in about 10 minutes, but then they need to set in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.

  1. Prepare pan. Line an 8 x 10 baking pan with parchment and spray the parchment with coconut oil (you’ll be able to grab hold of the ends of the paper to lift the chocolate out of the pan after its hardened).
  2. Melt dark chocolate and peanut butter together. Melt the peanut butter, honey, and coconut oil in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the chocolate. Stir frequently until the chocolate is completely melted.
  3. Add the rest of the ingredients. Stir in the vanilla, old fashioned oats, coconut, raisins and half of the nuts.
  4. Spread into pan. Pour mixture into your prepared pan and top with the remaining nuts.
  5. Refrigerate. Place in the refrigerator to set for about 2 hours.
  6. Cut into squares. Remove from pan (lifting edges of parchment paper) and cut into about 24 squares.
  7. Sprinkle with salt. Sprinkle with Fleur de Sel if you like salty-sweet.
  8. Storage. Keep stored in air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

These No Bake Chocolate Oat Bars are a great healthy, not-too-sweet treat to have in the fridge when you’re in the mood for a chocolate fix.  They come together on the stovetop in just minutes, but they need to sit in the fridge for an hour or two to completely set.  Well worth the wait!! This just may become one of your favorite no bake recipes to make!
