Ingredients
- 1 cup Peanut butter I like creamy but some people prefer chunky
- ½ cup Honey
- 2 ½ cups Old fashioned rolled oats
- ¼ cup Shredded coconut
- ⅓ cup Mini chocolate chips Or any other add-ins of your choice
- ¼ cup Melted chocolate For drizzling, Optional
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe mixing bowl, add peanut butter and honey. Heat in the microwave in 20 second increments until peanut butter has fully melted. Stir everything together until smooth.
- Add oats and coconut and mix until thoroughly combined.
- Stir in chocolate chips (I used a combination of mini chocolate chips and mini peanut butter chips, which I got from Canada).
- Dump this mixture into a square pan (Dimensions: 8x8), lined with wax paper.
- Use your hands or the flat base of a measuring cup to flatten down this oat mixture tightly.
- Cover with saran wrap or foil paper and refrigerate overnight or until mixture is firm.
- Use a sharp knife to cut bars.
- This step is optional: Drizzle each bar with melted chocolate.
- Allow the chocolate to set and harden and enjoy!
