A pretty easy to make a dessert that’s perfectly put together. It’s super moist, sweet, and delicious! A real chocolate indulgence with healthy oatmeal bars. I love making this with my kids because they love baking just like their Mom. They even brag about it to their friends which is super cute! And when I’m making this I make sure to bake extra to bring at work. This became the most requested dessert at the office. Even my boss is hooked! That is why during potlucks they make sure that I bring a lot of these amazing bars. I already shared with them the recipe and they never thought that it is a no-bake dessert and it is the easiest recipe for chocolate oatmeal bars.

How to make No-Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Bars

Step 4: In a different small heavy saucepan, melt the chocolate chips and peanut butter over low heat. Make sure to stir frequently for about 4 minutes until smooth.
