DELICIOUS RASPBERRY OATMEAL COOKIE BARS

• 1. Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with aluminum foil. Once lined, spray the inside of the foil lined baking dish with a no-stick cooking spray; set dish aside.

• 9. *Note: I made these bars twice, once using raspberry preserves, and the other using home-cooked strawberry jam, but I found I much preferred the bars with the raspberry preserves. I think these bars would taste great using apricot preserves, or another kind of tart-tasting jam or preserves.

NO BAKE CHOCOLATE & OATMEAL COOKIE BARS

Steps:

• 1. Combine peanut butter, honey, coconut oil into a medium sauce pan and stir together over medium heat until melted.
• 2. Add dry ingredients to large bowl: oats, chocolate chips and rice crispy cereal. Mix together
• 3. Pour melted peanut butter mixture over the dry ingredients in the bowl. Mix well and pour the combined ingredients into a 9 x 13 baking dish. This is fairly thick, so you could use a larger dish. I would suggest lining your baking dish with parchment paper as I had to let set out on the counter to soften a bit before I could cut and remove from baking dish. Keep refrigerated. I covered my cut cookie bars with saran wrap to keep them fresher.
