How to Make Chocolate Peanut Chewy Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 15 x 10-inch baking sheet.
- In a large bowl, combine 3 cups rolled oats, 1 cup graham cracker crumbs, 1 cup packed light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 cup salted peanuts.
- Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together ½ cup light corn syrup, ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter (melted), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- While the bars are still warm, prepare the chocolate topping.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips and ¼ cup creamy peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth. Alternatively, melt over a double boiler.
- Pour the melted chocolate mixture evenly over the warm bars.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate is set.
- Remove from the refrigerator, lift the bars from the pan, and cut into small bars.
