Directions
1. To make the Peanut Butter Chocolate Bites: Line a rimmed baking dish with parchment paper and set it aside.
2. Combine the melted coconut oil, oatmeal, vanilla extract, and honey together in a medium bowl. Stir in 1 cup peanut butter, mix well, then press evenly into the prepared baking pan with a wooden spatula.
3. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips with one tablespoon of peanut butter for 40 seconds, and mix with a wooden spoon, until the mixture is smooth. Reheat by 15 seconds increments if necessary. Pour the chocolate mixture into the pan over the pressed peanut butter oats. Refrigerate for 2 hours, or until the chocolate layer is set.
4. Remove the baking dish from the refrigerator and transfer the chocolate peanut butter slab to a cutting board. With a sharp knife, cut the peanut butter chocolate bites lengthwise and crosswise and store in an air-tight container and refrigerate them for up to 5 days. Enjoy! ❤️

Tips for the chocolate peanut butter squares recipe
- You can use an 8×8 inch square pan to make nice thick bars.
- Make sure to line your baking pan with parchment paper to easily remove the bars after chilling cutting.
- We found that creamy peanut butter was best for this peanut butter chocolate bars recipe. Oily peanut butter tends to prevent the oats mixture from setting.
- Try using crushed graham crackers instead of oats for the base. It’s not gluten-free, but it’s delicious too!
