Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Bars.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars

Something magical happens when you mix peanut butter and chocolate together. Combine that with just enough crunch and these Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars are drool-worthy, crave-worthy, and completely addictive!

Please tell me if you can eat just! I can’t.

Just look at that thick ribbon of chocolate. And, the crust is buttery with a little crunch and texture.

If you’ve been following me, you know I’m all about quick and easy! Using a cake mix for the crust and topping makes the prep time for these bars very quick. Furthermore, the hardest part is waiting for them to cook.

If you want really pretty squares, you’ll need to wait until they cool completely or even chill them in the refrigerator to get those perfect, bakery-style cuts. However, if that isn’t a priority to you, dive right in as soon as they’re cool enough to handle!

    In your write up, you mention oatmeal. I don’t see oatmeal in the ingredients or the picture instructions, Is oatmeal in these bars? I’d add that the crumble topping is easier to do if yor refrigerate the reserved cup of crust while you prepare the rest of the layers. These are scrumptious without oatmeal when the recipe is followed as written!

      That was an error, there is not oatmeal. Thanks for letting me know.
