Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine peanut butter and honey or maple syrup. Mix until completely smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in rolled oats and cocoa powder to the mixture, mixing thoroughly for 2-4 minutes until well incorporated.
- Prepare a baking dish with parchment paper and transfer the mixture, pressing it down firmly into an even layer.
- Melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until completely melted and smooth.
- Pour the melted chocolate over the pressed mixture and spread it evenly with a spatula.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the chocolate to harden and bars to set.
- Remove from the dish using parchment paper and cut into squares or rectangles.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or enjoy right away.
