These Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Oat Squares are super chewy, packed with peanut butter, loaded with chocolate chips and covered in a dreamy peanut butter glaze!
Isn’t simple sometimes the best?
I made these bars a few weeks ago for the first time..and they were so super easy and delicious, I have made them 2 more times since.
Each time I have remade them I’ve tried a different flavor combo. The originals I made classic with a peanut butter/chocolate combo. Because duh.
But the second time I subbed out the chocolate for white chocolate…because peanut and white chocolate are SUPER duh. THENNN I switched up the white chocolate for butterscotch, because who knew butterscotch and peanut butter were bomb together? Well, I didn’t, but they are.
And I am also sorry I used the werd bomb. Gross.
Anyhow…back to the bars. You’ve got peanut butter, any kind o’chip you want to use, oats and a glaze. Everyone’s a winner today folks.
Also, I just had the idea to use ROLOS instead of chocolate chips. OMGYES.
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Oat Squares
Anyhow, like I said they’re really easy to throw together.
I used my beloved Callebeut chips. They are my favorite favorite because they melt so creamy dreamy.
Then I poured a peanut butter glaze all over that business.
When it set up it looked like this…
And then like this…

Warning: if you make these to take to a bake sale and you taste some (because you have to cut them up and no one will know) you will soon forget ALL ABOUT the bake sale and rationalize that you can just give a donation instead. 🙂
