Indulge in these delicious and nutritious no-bake bars that combine rich peanut butter and chocolate for a perfect snack or dessert! 🌟🥜🍫
Ingredients:
- 1 cup natural peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
- ½ cup pure maple syrup or honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup crispy rice cereal
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips (or chopped dark chocolate)
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
Instructions:
1. In a medium saucepan over low heat, mix together the peanut butter and maple syrup. Stir continuously until the mixture is melted and smooth, taking about 2–3 minutes.
2. Remove the mixture from heat and add the vanilla extract, stirring to combine.
3. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats and crispy rice cereal. Pour the warm peanut butter blend over the dry ingredients and mix until everything is well-coated.
4. Line an 8x8-inch square pan with parchment paper and firmly press the mixture into the pan, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even finish.
5. In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth.
6. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the oat mixture and spread it evenly across the surface.
7. Refrigerate the bars for at least 1 hour, or until they become firm.
8. Once set, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper and cut into squares or bars.
