Preparation

Step 1

In a medium - large sized saucepan, melt together peanut butter, honey and coconut oil.

Remove from heat and add oats and chocolate chips. Stir until combined and chocolate chips are melted.

Spread into a 9x13 pan that has been lined with foil. Refrigerate mixture until hardened, about 1 - 2 hours. Cut into bars and store leftovers in the refrigerator.

Recipe yields: 12 - 24 bars depending on size

Cook's Note: Using old fashioned oats gives these cocoa bars a chewy texture. I have not tried this recipe using quick oats, so I cannot say what the results would be. Keep these bars stored in the refrigerator to prevent melting.
