These No Bake Chocolate Oat Bars are a great healthy, not-too-sweet treat to have in the fridge when you’re in the mood for a chocolate fix. They come together on the stovetop in just minutes, but they need to sit in the fridge for an hour or two to completely set. Well worth the anticipation!!

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 cup peanut butter
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/2 cup coconut oil
• 2 cups gluten-free old fashioned oats
• 1 cup shredded coconut
• 1-1/2 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped (or use pecans)
• 1/2 cup raisins
• 1-1/4 cups bittersweet chocolate, chopped (use no less than 70%)
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• Fleur de Sel (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

1. Line an 8 x 10 baking pan with parchment and spray the parchment with coconut oil (you'll be able to grab hold of the ends of the paper to lift the chocolate out of the pan after its hardened).
2. Melt the peanut butter, honey, and coconut oil in a saucepan over medium-low heat.
3. Add the chocolate. Stir frequently until the chocolate is completely melted.
4. Turn off the heat.
5. Add the vanilla, oats, coconut, raisins and half of the nuts.
6. Pour into your prepared pan and top with the remaining nuts.
7. Slightly press the remaining nuts into the chocolate.
8. Place in the refrigerator to cool. After the mixture has hardened completely (after 2 hours or so), remove from the pan and cut into squares.
9. Sprinkle with Fleur de Sel if you like salty-sweet.
10. Keep stored in air-tight container in the refrigerator.
