Ingredients
  

1 cup natural peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (vegan if desired)

1 tablespoon coconut oil

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pan: Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some overhang on the sides for easy removal later.

    Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), rolled oats, graham cracker crumbs, salt, and vanilla extract. Mix until thoroughly combined. The mixture should be thick and sticky.

      Press Mixture: Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Using your hands or a spatula, press down firmly and evenly into the pan to create a smooth layer.

        Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat.

          Top the Bars: Pour the melted chocolate over the pressed peanut butter mixture, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

            Chill: Place the dish in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (or until fully set) to firm up.

              Cut into Bars: Once set, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares or rectangles as desired.

                Serve and Enjoy: These delicious no-bake bars can be enjoyed immediately or stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
