No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Oat Bars
These No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Oat Bars are sooooo delicious! (and NO BAKE, score!!) They are also quite dense (and did I mention delicious??) so I actually prefer to cut them into tiny one inch bite sized cubes.
Best of all, these Peanut Butter Oat Bars are a no-bake recipe which means that you can use the stovetop and spare the heat from the oven!

I try to keep the ingredients on hand so that we can make these no-bakes on a moments notice. This is a great recipe for those last minute desserts but it is also a great recipe for parties and bake sales!
Ingredients for No Bake Peanut Butter Bars
- 1 cup butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

Directions for these Easy No Bake Cookie Bars
- Melt butter, sugar and vanilla in a saucepan stirring frequently. Mix in oats.
- Press half of the mixture into a greased 9×9 pan and set aside.

- Top with remaining oat mixture (I used my fingers) and gently press into the chocolate layer.

These look awesome! My kids would love these, which kinda stinks because that means I would have to share 🙂
