I made some NO BAKE PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE OATMEAL BARS the other day and I’m finally getting around to posting—this shiz takes a long time! Between making the recipe, testing it again (and maybe tweaking it yet again); photographing, editing, sheeshhh I’m tired, where’s my vacay. But they are so good, I couldn’t wait any longer! This recipe makes 24 small bars or 12 large ones (I made large ones in case you can’t tell)
