This delicious delicacy consisted of layers of oat and chocolate topped with a drizzle of even more chocolate created.
The nicest thing about this is NO Baking is involved here!

Making No Bake Chocolate Oat Bars:
Techniques
Turn a 9x 9 inch square pan greasily.
In big saucepan set over medium heat, melt butter.
Combine vanilla and brown sugar.
Stir into the oats.
Cook over low heat two to three minutes, or until thoroughly mixed.
Half of the mixture should be pressed into the bottom of the ready pan.
Set aside half for top garnish.
Melt chocolate chips and peanut butter in a small heavy saucepan set over medium heat, stirring often until smooth.
Drizzle the chocolate mixture over the pan’s crust, then equally with a knife or the back of a spoon.
Pressing in carefully, crumble the remaining oat mixture over the chocolate layer.
Cover; chill 2 to 3 hours or overnight. Before cutting into bars, bring to room temperature.
For variations, you can easily customize these no-bake chocolate oat bars by using different nut butters like almond or cashew for a unique flavor.
Swap honey for agave syrup or brown rice syrup if you prefer a different sweetener.
To add extra texture and flavor, consider mixing in ingredients such as shredded coconut, mini marshmallows, or dried fruit.
To ensure the bars hold together well, press the mixture firmly into the pan before chilling.
It’s also important to allow sufficient time for the bars to set in the fridge to achieve the right consistency.
Using parchment paper in the pan will make removing and cutting the bars much easier.
