It’s too hot to cook. Slaving over an oven in 115-degree weather is nobody’s wish. That’s why no-bake items are so perfect for the summer months. Here’s a recipe for No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Bars from the Buns in my Oven blog.
Ingredients: 1. Melt butter in a large sauce pan over low heat. Stir in brown sugar, vanilla, and oats. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Press half of mixture in to the bottom of a buttered 8 x 8 dish. 2. In a microwave safe bowl, microwave the chocolate and peanut butter, stirring every 30 seconds until melted and blended. Pour the chocolate peanut butter mixture over the crust, reserving a couple of spoonfuls to drizzle over the top. 3. Sprinkle the remaining oat mixture over the chocolate and peanut butter, pressing gently to form a crust. Drizzle the remaining chocolate and peanut butter over the top of the bars. 4. Refrigerate for 3 hours before cutting and serving.
