How to Make Chocolate Peanut Chewy Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a 15 x 10-inch baking sheet.
  3. 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.
  4. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together ½ cup light corn syrup, ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter (melted), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  6. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  9. While the bars are still warm, prepare the chocolate topping.
  10. 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.
  11. Pour the melted chocolate mixture evenly over the warm bars.
  12. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate is set.
  13. Remove from the refrigerator, lift the bars from the pan, and cut into small bars.
