The only thing easier than making these no-bake chocolate
oatmeal bars is eating them....

  

§  1/2 cup brown sugar packed

§  1 teaspoon vanilla extract

§  3 cups rolled oats

§  1 cup semisweet or dark chocolate chips

§  1/2 cup peanut butter

1.    
Line an 8-inch or
9-inch square baking dish with parchment paper and set aside. Overhangs the
edges of the foil to lift the bars easier from the baking dish. (You can use a
9x13-inch if you want thinner bars.)

2.    
Melt butter and brown
sugar in large saucepan over medium heat, until the butter has melted and the
sugar has dissolved. Stir in vanilla. Mix in the oats.

3.    
Cook over low heat 3
to 4 minutes, or until ingredients are well blended.

4.    
Pour half of the oat
mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread out the mixture evenly, pressing
down. Reserve the other half for second layer.

5.    
To make the filling,
melt the peanut butter and chocolate chips together in a small microwave-safe
bowl and stir until it’s smooth.

6.    
Pour the chocolate
mixture over the crust in the pan, reserving about 1/4 cup for drizzling and
spread evenly.

7.    
Pour the remaining oat
mixture over the chocolate layer, pressing in gently and drizzle with the
remaining chocolate mixture.

8.    
Refrigerate 2 to 3
hours or overnight. Bring to room temperature before cutting into bars.

9.    
Note: Like any no-bake
cookie, the final texture of these really depends on how long you boil the
sugar mixture. If it doesn't boil long enough, the cookie/bars mixture will be
too soft, if you boil too long, they could turn out dry and crumbly.
