Tips:

  • Use good quality chocolate. The chocolate is the star of the show in these bars, so it's important to use a chocolate that you love. Look for a chocolate with a high cocoa content (at least 70%) and a rich flavor.
  • Don't overcook the oatmeal. The oatmeal should be cooked until it is tender, but not mushy. If you overcook the oatmeal, it will become dry and crumbly.
  • Press the bars firmly into the pan. This will help to keep them from falling apart when you cut them.
  • Chill the bars before cutting them. This will make them easier to cut and will help to prevent them from crumbling.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature. They will keep for up to 3 days.

These oatmeal chocolate bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're made with simple ingredients and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a sweet snack, give these oatmeal chocolate bars a try!
