Ingredients
  

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

2 tablespoons coconut oil (optional, for chocolate topping)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, rolled oats, cocoa powder, and salt. Mix well until combined.

    Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until smooth.

      Mix Together: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until fully combined. The mixture should be sticky and hold together when pressed.

        Set the Base: Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the dish, using your hands or a spatula to ensure it’s tightly compacted.

          Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until completely melted and smooth.

            Top with Chocolate: Pour the melted chocolate over the pressed peanut butter base and spread it evenly with a spatula.

              Chill: Place the baking dish in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or until the bars are firm.

                Slice and Serve: Once set, lift the bars out using the parchment overhang and cut them into squares or rectangles. Enjoy your delicious no-bake chocolate peanut butter bars!
