- 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.
